My Son, My Help


As a child and into adulthood, I was fortunate to have had many wonderful teachers who inspired and help me become who I am now. One especially, my sixth grade teacher at Ridgedale Elementary School in Chattanooga, TN, Ms. Grace Robinson, is the one who most help me decide by her example that I wanted to be a teacher like her. I have now been teaching for over 30 years, before my children were born. As a father I tried to be a good example and teacher for them as well. During these past few years, my son is now often my teacher and I am his appreciative student.

As a university lecturer I teach now in the area of information systems, an area constantly changing in new and wonderful ways. My son works as a web designer for NASA and frequently helps me learn new ways and techniques I am able to share with my students.
