I grew up on a ranch/farm and continue to live that kind of life as I married into the same kind of enviroment. I am married and raise three children in Conrad, MT. My education includes a B.S. in Education and a M.A. in Educational Technology. Currently I teach 6th grade science, 7th grade (inclusion) math, 8th grade technology and one period of staff development. My educational philosophy is "Waiting for someone to teach you a lesson (translation: the hard way) is a poor way to receive an education."
