My first blog. Wish I knew what I was doing. My blog is meant to allow a look into my interests and my family. My life is certainly no more interesting than the next guy.

My wife and I are the proud parents of 5 children. They give me much joy, and many grey hairs. I get old. My wife still looks like a teenager.

I will post pictures and paragraphs about my life as an educator and volleyball coach. I will also post my dreams of some things I would really like to do in my life. One of those is travel. I have always wanted to see things and places. I have been really lucky to have travelled as much as I have. Recently, I have been to Oregon and Mexico on different trips, and over my lifetime I have seen Hawaii, Brazil, Florida and the Grand Canyon. I have been to 5 different major league baseball stadiums and I have seen Ben Vereen spit while he was singing as we sat on the front row at the Musical "Wicked" on Broadway. I have riden the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland what seems like a hundred times, and have stood where King Kong swung at the top of the Empire State Building. I have been lucky to have seen so much.

But there is so much more to see.
