In 1971 I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana.  My family moved to San Antonio before I was making memories, but once I'd gotten that down I attended NEISD schools 1st - 12th, graduating from Churchill in 1990.  With the exception of my UT years, I lived in San Antonio until 2011, when I moved to Kerrville to remain near my family.  The 2021 - 2022 school year is my 25th to teach US History (23rd for AP, 18th for DC)--all at Madison.
