Life Well, where do I start? Since graduating, I have taught first grade in Port Angeles and Castle Rock, second and sixth grades in Hockinson, and am now a technology director for Educational Service District 112 in Vancouver, Washington. I have two sons. Josh is my oldest, and after graduating from the U of O, he is now a financial planner for Morgan and Stanley. Jacob, my youngest, works for Apple Computer, and aspires to be the next Steve Jobs! I have high-tech, low-tech and no-tech interests! I think technology is cool, and love exploring new technologies that can help students learn and teachers get their jobs done. That's what I do in my job. My hobbies include scrapbooking, stamping and gardening. And I enjoy spending time with friends and family as well, doing whatever the moment brings.
