Do I Do Anything Besides IT?
When I am not in my favorite place, in front of the classroom, I can be found in front of a barbecue pit cooking or on a boat fishing around Tampa Bay. I consider myself one of the fortunate few who have found their true calling in life, and I show that passion in each of my classes.
