I have been a freelance graphic designer since 1986 and have taught Computer Graphics at MHS since 1996. Every day I get to come to work and teach my life's passion to amazing young people. When people say hi to me and ask me how I am doing, my standard response has always been "living the dream." And it's true. I've been teaching the same subject, in the same room, for nearly three decades, and I still cannot wait to get to work in the morning. I realize just how truly blessed I am to be able to say that. I want to thank all my students, past and present, for making my job so incredibly fun and rewarding.
