More about me:
I am a physical education and health teacher for grades 6-8. This will be the start of my 15th year teaching. Eventually, I would like to teach at the college level. Currently, I just completed a graduate course called; Weight: Effect on Health, Attitudes and Self-Esteem. I need one more credit for my master's equivalency.

Another goal of mine one day is to have my own personal training studio or own a fitness center/gym. I also have the ambition to become a nutritionist in the near future and possibly open a health store too!

My hobbies include reading, drawing, playing keyboards, traveling, collecting sports memorabilia, cooking, skiing, swimming and weight training. Adventurous activities are my favorite. I have gone on rattlesnake hunts in California and Virginia. No luck yet! When I was in Cancun, I went in a shark tank (I was in a cage) and was able to feed the sharks. Two summers ago, I went hiking in Sedona, AZ, which is close to the Grand Canyon. This summer, one of my goals is to finally go whitewater rafting.

Since I have the summers off(don't hate), I love to travel. This past summer, I didn’t go away but hopefully that changes this year. I have been to Cancun twice. The following are places I would love to visit one day; Australia, Dominican Republic, China, Russia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Thailand and Africa.

I guess my size makes me unique. I am 6'5 and 264 pounds. When I was born, I only weighed 4 pounds and was under 20’s tall!

Animals are a passion of mine. I have four pets, a rabbit and three dogs. My rabbit's name is Peter. My dogs are: A Pit/Boxer mix named Sadie, a Yorkshire Terrier named Bella and a long haired Chihuahua named Lola. They are all my babies and are spoiled rotten. In the past, other pets I have owned are snakes(pythons) an alligator and lizards.
