Hello!

I was a criminal investigator for 34 years. I taught many criminal justice subjects for high school, college, and police recruits. I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and teach at senior citizens centers. I travel as much as I can. I have lived in Italy and Mexico.

Entertaining family and friends, riding motorcycles, travelling, martial arts, and music.

Teaching Style

I like to engage students with stories from the "real" world. I also like the use of humor to help remember key points. I have a saying, "if you're not laughing, you're not learning."
