CURRENT MISSION

I always wanted Sherman Billingsley's job..Now I have it in Club Fred!

ABOUT ME

Music, Tennis, Golf, Travel, the beach,family and community service take up most our time. My wife is a pianist, tennis player and artist. We love to travel and to entertain friends in our home. We have done exchange visits with friends in Sweden for several years and hope to make more friends around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

The art of creative becoming...I'm not what I want to be, I'm not what I'm goin' to be, but thank God I'm not what I was! Life is a process of "becoming". I want to become a person who enjoys life by sharing great times with others.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Became a significant part of a book published by McGraw Hill called "Secondary Classroom Management" by Carol Weinstein. It reflects 28 years of life experience and the 5th English edition was published in Feb. 2011! The fourth edition was in Chinese, and the latest edition went on sale about 6 months ago.

教，学，和分享

I try to be a good listener and ask engaging questions. "I don't know" and "It all depends" are correct answers to almost any question...all others answers seem to be debateable!
