| Bio: | NOTE: This journal is now mostly private, due to my estranged wife searching it for anything she can use against me. I am recently separated, but am blessed to be the father of Arwen Elizabeth, Gavin Lawrence, Maya Marianne, and my two fine, supportive adult sons, who will remain anonymous here. I am a firm but non-pushy Christian, and a big ol' geek. I teach Jr. High mathematics, science, computers, and health. I am by choice a secondary math and science teacher, with a specialty in physics. My previous degree was a B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering, 1981. My personal mission at the moment is to prepare my children for life as best I can and share the wonder I see in the world. I also love to create beauty, and if I ever again have a house of my own I want to make it a work of art. I am a moderator of the community ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} teaching.
