About meAfter taking a break from educating the world while I was trying to answer the universal questions of "Why am I here?" and "What should I do with my life," I have recently entered into a PhD program and taken a job as a middle school reading specialist.

Interests:
Read, read, read. Watch Lost. Try to write something worth saying. Read, read, read. Listen to iTunes library. Try to revise something I wrote into something worth saying. Read, read, read. Study to get into the PhD program I desire. Read, read, read.... (Sometimes, I attempt these things all at once with mixed results)

Educational Background:
B.S. in Elementary Education
M.S. in Reading Education
Teaching Certifications: Media Specialist K-12, Reading K-12, Secondary English 6-12, ESOL K-12, Elementary 1-6

About my libraryAll of the books listed here are author organized in my home library according to good old Dewey's system.

Favorite fiction genres include satire, magical realism, fantasy/sci-fi/speculative, historical & young adult.
Favorite nonfiction genres include memoir, history & religion.
