Introduction

Hello! This is my personal page in the KNILT wiki for ETAP 623, Fall 2009. I'm not exactly sure what the purpose of this page will be, so for now I'll just write a little bit about myself here.

Biography

Where I am now

Work

Currently I live in Lakeville, CT, at the boarding school where I work, Hotchkiss. It's a college prep school for grades 9-PG with approximately 600 students. I'm currently in my seventh year at the school. My main job here is as an instructor in computer, which means I teach all our computer courses. In addition, I also am the director of our School Service Program, I work as the sports information officer, and I am in charge of one corridor in the boys dormitory where I live.

Family

I'm very lucky to be married to an amazing woman named Marcie for five years now, and we are the proud parents of a very active toddler named Benjamin. He's about 18 months old as of September 2009. If you want to read more about him, you can go to his blog.

Other interests

There's not too much free time when you work at a boarding school and have a young child, but when I do have free time I spend most of it on the computer (shock!). I play more than my fair share of computer games, chief among them being World of Warcraft and Civilization 4. Besides computer games, I'm a big sports fan, I really like movies, and I have recently gotten into cycling.
