Be kind to everyone you meet. Take care of each other.
"Doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love." - "Hamlet", Act 2, Scene 2
To treat others the way you'd want to be treated.
Well, I am a teacher, so it isn't through money. I think as long as we can pay our bills, we have a home to live in, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and love in our hearts........we are successful.
I overcame some of the toughest times in my life over 15 years ago and went back to school at night for 4 years while working full time. I graduated with my Master's in Education and a year later was awarded New Teacher of the Year in Special Education for Clark County School District and Alumni of the 1990's from the Department of Special Education at UNLV.
Seeing my wife walk down the isle on the day we were married. And of course, the day my son was born.
At my age, getting back into shape so that I can keep up with my son as he gets older and more active.
24 Hour Fitness here I come!
I was friends with Bruce Willis when we both attended Monclair State University back in the 70's. I performed in about 3 or 4 plays with him and directed him in a production of "Of Mice and Men".
Iselin, New Jersey. I went to St Cecilia's Elementary School in Iselin, NJ and St. Peter's High School in New Brunswick NJ.
2 brothers (one older, one younger) and an older sister.
I sold lemon ice in the park. I was 16 years old. My father got me the job. I still remember when he told me as he dropped me off for my first day....."Don't ever stand around doing nothing. Find something to do."
I wanted to win an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Don Antonio's Pizzaria
Starbucks. I met my wife at Starbucks.
Way too many to pick a favorite. But, I like Billy Joel, Elton John, Sinatra, Josh Grobin......and the list goes on.
The Last Samurai, Braveheart, Billy Elliot.....and many more.
Boston Legal
My brother's wrap-around porch at his house on top of a mountain in Branson, Missouri.
"Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. I read it to my son.
An iced cold Rockstar or an Iced Coffee. A food indulgence would be a plain cheese pizza from Villa Pizza.
Well, we are only 3 weeks into being first time parents, so I'd have to say, lots of diapers, the breast pump, and our microwave sterilizer. And of course.....our washing machine!
My perfect day is simply being at home with my wife, Abby and our little boy, Christopher. Of course, in the evening, a pizza and a movie is a great way to end a day.
I used to have many reasons, but lately, with the economy and unemployment the way it is, I am just very thankful that I have a job to go to each day. But, other than that......I would have to say that I am inspired to go to work because I love what I do and I have fun doing it.
There are so many children (especially in special education) that people have given up on. These students have very often given up on themselves. I wanted to show my students that they can succeed in anything they do. All they need is someone that believes in them.
If one of my students can accomplish one little thing they could not do the day before.....it is a great day!
Never, never, never give up!
