My philosophy regards the brevity of our time and the happiness to be found when you embrace an active life. Being active means getting the most out of that time by working hard for my students, embracing new experiences, loving my family, endlessly pursuing education, and influencing those around me to live happy, healthy, productive lives. I'm much like my two dogs here, Jim and Molly, I just need my people and a journey, and I'm all smiles.
