Drew's Story
Life
I've spent half my adult life as an elementary school teacher in Missouri, Colorado, Texas, and Mexico. The other half was spent in corporate finance in Washington state and Colorado. I've lived in Colorado longer than any other place in my life.
I've dabbled some in politics. I was elected as a city councilman in Colorado in a non-partisan election. I served as a Republican county chairman about the same time. I later worked a couple years as an aide to a Colorado state legislator.
The highlight of my working life has to be being a teacher in Mexico from 1999 to 2001. I went down there knowing no Spanish and very little about the metric system.
I taught mostly middle income youngsters at a bilingual Mexican private school in Guadalajara for one year. The next year I taught the truly rich at a US international school in Mexico City. I dealt with kids from 22 different nations spread over four continents. Our students were the children of the diplomatic corps, corporate CEO's, government leaders, media moguls, and the d...Expand for more
rug cartels.
I never married and I rather regret having not done so at this stage of my life. But I have been involved in the lives of a lot of kids from around the world. It has definitely an unforgettable experience... and made me much more appreciative of living in the USA.
I currently live in Littleton, Colorado, about a mile southeast of Columbine High School, the neighborhood high school. I was living here on April 20, 1999, and witnessed the pandemonium outside the school in the aftermath of the shootings that took the lives of 12 innocent students and one teacher. It was one of two catastrophic events I have seen in my life. The other was the massive eruption of Mount St. Helen in Washington state in May of 1980.
I guess I've gotten around pretty well for a suburban Jersey kid. But I never been back to the Garden State since Christmas 1977.
