Hello,

      Currently a Woodring College, Master In Teaching graduate student with Secondary Ed.  Alum WWU 2004 with a BA in History/Secondary Ed, Minor in Social Studies and Canadian American Studies.  I'm retired from 20 years active service in the Marines, part time substitute teacher in the Skagit valley.  Also, a part time overseas security and security training professional. The last four years I've gained heaps of experience in security, training and most importantly mentoring in the Middle East, Africa and Afghanistan.  Eventually my aim is to be a full time positive male role model in a public or private school system teaching social studies at the secondary school level.  This will be where I can put all my years of engaging and rapport build to good use by passing on real experiences about people and places in the context of social studies.  Cheers!

PS,  I'm on a leave of absense now working in Afghanistan until mid-December 2009.  I'd be happy to entertain any questions and would enjoy the process of exchanging information.
