Job Title: Middle School Math Teacher Location: Elementary School Campus Years at Corpus Christi: Twelve magnificent years |
|
What is your title and responsibilities for the school? Middle School (grades 6-8), including 9th grade Algebra to our qualifying 8th graders. I also serve as Advisor to the National Junior Honor Society, and organize our Altar Servers for the Tuesday school masses. When did you start with the school? I began to teach at Corpus Christi in the Fall of 1998. For the first six years with Corpus Christi, I was the Junior High science teacher and had an eighth grade homeroom. When Mrs.DeFreese retired I asked to switch to math and have been teaching that for the last six years. Where have you worked previously? I practiced banking law for 18 years with the American Bankers Association, the Credit Union National Association, the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, and for six years in Private Practice. Concurrently (for 18 years on Saturdays and Evenings) I taught GRE, and GMAT Math Review courses at The George Washington University. Where were you born (city and state/country) and live as a young child? I was born in Warwick, Rhode Island. I lived there until I was seventeen, then moved to California for 10 years, then to Northern Virginia. What was your elementary school, were you involved in any extracurricular clubs or sports and what funny thing do you remember most about it? I went to St. Mary School in Crompton, R.I. I was an Altar Boy in the 7th and 8th grades, and was 8th grade class president. One of the most fun things I did during elementary school was go to a classmate's house before school in 7th and 8th grades and play guitar in his rock band. Do you have family in the area? I live with my wife, Mary, and son, Henry, in Arlington. I have been married for 27 years. Henry is in his freshman year at William and Mary. What are your hobbies and interests? I love to fish. I have done this since I was 4yrs. old. I also play golf, collect books and follow the Red Sox. Carl Yastrzemski is my hero. What college did you attend? I graduated UC Riverside in 1974, and the University of San Diego Law School in 1978. What is your educational philosophy? Education is what remains after you have forgotten what you have learned. One of my Brothers in High School passed this along to me, and I connected with it immediately. |
