I am a retired music educator teaching three days a week at Odin Public School. I believe that all students can achieve great things if they set their mind to it. I am married, have three children, and six grandchildren. I studied at Rend Lake College, Illinois Wesleyan College, Southern Illinois University of Carbondale, and was a postgraduate at Macomb. I have taught at Woodridge, Elmwood, Highland, Carlyle, and now Odin.
