I was involved with the Ohio SchoolNet LessonLab Program and have designed a unit plan for Black History Studies and co-designed a unit on the theme Ice Cream. As part of my Masters work, I completed a research paper entitled "Internet Use in K-12 Schools"

   I was active in Boy Scouts of America for 11 years while I was growing up and was involved as a leader for 20 years when my sons were growing up..  I am a certified BSA Lifeguard and I do merit badge counseling for science and computer related merit badges.

    I am a parent of six children, 3 by birth and 3 by adoption. I am a member of the Southeastern Ohio Adoptive Family Support Group and I have been a group leader for post adoption groups for children and adults. My wife Bonnie is a adoption case worker Supervisor for Athens County Childrens Services. She used to help coordinate the Ohio Statewide Adoption Retreat which we attended every year at Deecreek State Park for 14 years until Governor Taft in his infinite wisdom cut the funding.  As a member of the Rome Township Volunteer Fire Department, I do fire inspections for adoptive and foster family certifications and am webmaster.

     I am active in drug prevention in Athens, County and participate on the Athens County Prevention Board. I lead groups for regional Teen Institutes, have participated in State Teen Institute and am a trained CLUB PRIDE advisor. Did you know that a former Miss Indiana was in TI?
       My wife and I are active in our church; She is a lay leader and former PPR chair and I am Technology Coordinator and past Administrative Council chair. My daughter Erin and her husband Mike are youth group leaders. In February 2006, I had the pleasure of organizing a Nicaragua Mission Trip for our church including the youth group. Attending were Erin, Mike, our pastor, four other adults and I, as well as seven young men and women from our youth group. We hope to repeat this mission trip in 2008.

     My interests include camping, hiking, swimming, herpetology, carpentry and woodworking (I built an addition on our home and am currently working on another small addition and bathroom remodeling project ), and most recently computers. I refer to myself as a budding technologist. I've got a long way to go, but I'm having a great time learning! I was webmaster and a tech coordinator for my school and am currently webmaster for Rome Township Volunteer Fire Department, The Canaanville United Methodist Church and have done some web work for the Maple Heights Class of 1965. I am starting a web page development company called Computer Cyber Services. My wife, Bonnie, has been happier since I gave up raising goats and sheep. She's still hoping I'll loose interest in snakes!

    I love attending the All-Ohio Reptile Swap whenever I can. A Reptile Swap is an event where an entrepreneurial snake owner rents an exhibition hall and invites hundreds of other snake-lovers to come and sell their pets and supplies. Then thousands of snake-lovers like myself come to see what all is for sale and spend our hard earned money on things like, snakes, bearded dragons, chameleons, iguanas, turtles, poison dart frogs, alligators, tarantulas, scorpions, sugar gliders, parrots and other exotic pets and also food items like rats, mice, rabbits, beetles, meal worms, etc.

My most recent schedule addition has been to volunteer for the Athens County Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
