Hi to all! Still married to Brian (30 years, OMG!)

grown and out of  the house. Working as a Chiropractic Assistant and love helping patients feel better.  I am an loud 'Steeler Fan' and enjoy gardening, the beaches of Lake Erie and drinking beer, not always in that order. :)

 

 Surfing the Internet, I was surprised to find the DSJ Alumni Website. It's great to provide a place for alumni to post information, and of course I see Chuck and Dan have beat me to the punch with theirs! I live in Oregon, OH near Maumee Bay with my wife, Donna, and our children. I have worked in Oregon City Schools for the past 7 years and am in my 2nd year as Superintendent. One of my biggest career accomplishments was completing my Ph.D. in 2005, however my greatest accomplishment has been raising 5 kids and watching them grow into amazing adults. Alexander, 23
will graduate from Miami University in Dec 2009 as a secondary Math Teacher and Math Major. He returns soon from 4 months in Germany completing his student teaching. Noelle, 22 graduated from the University of Toledo in May 2009 and is serving in the Peace Corp since Aug. She is posted in Kazakhstan for the next 2 years, teaching English. Paul, 19 is a freshman at Shawnee State University. He is on the baseball team
and studying Biology. Elana, 17 is a senior at Clay High School. She has been a cheerleader and most recently captain of the girl's Tennis Team (takes after someone??). College is still undecided. Teddy, 14 is an 8th grader and active in Boy Scouts and Tae Kwon Do. My wife, Donna is the Technology Coordinator for the Lake Local School District.
