About Me


You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.
I was born in Colorado and live there today. I spent 5 years on active duty in the US Navy from 1979-1984. I have been described as a perpetual student (seven degrees down on the path to ten - at least), Math teacher, and musician (all of which are true.) I'm also a 3-time College bowl regional all-star, member of the CU trivia bowl Hall of Fame and twice a Phone-a-friend on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. I love to talk, especially about myself. I have a list of 15 countries I want to visit before I make up another list. next on the list: Paris and the Louvre, then Greece. I'm the guy who raises the average age of your friends on My Space by a couple of years.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

William Shakespeare. I think he appears at a transition point in history and pushes humanity (or at least western, English civilization)down its current path. Oh, and Kiera Knightly cuz I'm not dead yet.
And, if my soul mate/future wife/woman of my dreams is out there, would you drop me a note or leave a trail of breadcrumbs or something?

rate my professor

I just looked at my ratings.  I guess none of the students who hated me and my class have found it yet.  Eight people out of eight gave me an A?  That seems wrong to me, but thanks to a...
