I spent twelve years as a high school English teacher but have had several “careers,” including six years as an accountant (my college diploma was in business, majoring in accounting), six years as a night security officer in Memphis, TN, a food service manager in both fast food and college food services, and a variety of odd jobs, one of which took me to Granby, Colorado for five months to work in conference services at Snow Mountain Ranch, the YMCA of the Rockies. I just spent a year in Cedar Rapids, Iowa while a member of AmeriCorps*VISTA helping with the flood recovery work there. As of now, I could be anywhere, doing most anything, but I will be writing something.
