the years, the author has been blessed with the opportunity to work with students of both young age and older. His academic background includes a B.A. from Columbia University and an M.A. from Norwich University, and his career has included working in high levels of government and education. But nothing, he says, has given him more joy and a sense of purpose than raising his beautiful daughter, Michele, and the years spent instilling hope and inspiring accomplishments in thousands of the children he encountered during the years of his career as an educator.
