Welcome!

Greetings, and welcome to my blog.  Although this is my first post on this particular blog, this is not my first attempt at blogging itself.  Efforts in the past have been stifled by my busy work schedule and other matters getting in the way.  Indeed, I have no idea how long this blog will last or how often I will get to updating it this time around.  Without making any promises, I am going to try my best to update it weekly, if not daily.

A few quick pieces of information about myself:
  • I am a Life Skills Special Education Teacher at a high school in North East Kansas.
  • I live in Overland Park, KS with my wonderful wife and our dog.
  • I am 28 years old, have a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and  Master of Art's in Education. 
  • I am quite progressive in my politics (I would use the term democratic socialist), but with an independent mind and no political party affiliation. 
  • I was raised in the mainline Protestant denomination, but am now a Secular Humanist.
  • I am a major film buff (a bit of a movie snob, if you will).
  • I am lifelong fan of both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Missouri Tigers Football team.
This blog will primarily focus on issues regarding education, including special education, transition, education policy, curriculum, and instruction.  However, I will not shy away from writing on various other topics that reflect my own personal interests (movies, sports, politics, culture, comedy, atheism, etc.).  Feel free to comment if you ever have anything you would like to say in response to a post of mine.  I hope you enjoy!
