INTRODUCTION
After eight years of teaching in Southern California, I decided
to return to school to earn a Ph.D. in special education. I packed my little
Honda and drove from Los Angeles to Charlottesville, Virginia where I am now. Since being a doctoral student means reading hundreds of pages each week, this
will have to be a short introduction. I hope you enjoy the website. Check out my skydiving video on the travel page.
