After 36 years in public education (22 years as principal), I look forward to applying my educational experience in helping students in the GOAL program achieve their educational dream.  My wife graduated from GWU in 2001, an opportunity that would not have happened without the GOAL program. After a year of retirement, I realized I wanted to again be involved in education.  And, although I enjoy spending time fishing and hunting, I find helping others tremendously rewarding.
