A former teacher, retired and exploring creative endeavors pretty much like he's done all his life. He's been a burger flipper, and vacuum salesman, a business computer salesman, a theater seat upholsterer, a librarian, a bookstore and liquor store salesman, a bartender, a bar manager, a head barman, a restaurant manager and general manager, a stage actor, a solo, duo, and band singer, guitarist, spoonist, and mandolin player, a movie actor, a cruise ship performer and assistant director, a teacher in lower, middle, and high schools, a technology lab teacher, a podcaster, a virtual school coordinator and founder, an edtech advocate/presenter, a novelist, a songwriter, a painter, a poet, a pauper, a pawn, a husband, and a dad; but he will not be your fool.
