About Me



I'm a former high school teacher originally from Tacoma, Washington (suburb of Seattle.) I quit teaching to pursue a graduate degree in Counseling. If I'm on myspace, it's because I'm procrastinating and not preparing for school. (Maybe that's why I always related so well to my students?)
I married Kris and moved from Washington state in 2004 and now live in a suburb of Houston, Texas.
