Something you should know about me!

I live to teach, direct, and act in theater. I work hard and am very passionate and protective with respect to my students. I came to teaching later in life, and one of my few regrets in life is that I didn't start teaching earlier in life. I've never felt this kind of passion for any other job (and there were many) I've ever had in my life
