It's Been a While...

While things have been a bit quiet on the racing front, my personal and professional life has been anything but calm. On July 3, after over 30 years in the corporate world, I made a career change. I'm taking that experience and sharing it. I'm a teacher now.

I've returned to college, and just completed a 6-credit-hour in 16-days Pre-Service Program at Kent State, and will start my new job as the Engineering CADD Instructor at Mayfield High School's Excel TECC in late August. My wife, Rebecca is also a Counselor in this district; we also live in the district and our oldest daughter attends Lander Elementary.

My energy levels are off the map; getting out of the "safe zone" has been incredibly energizing. It has also been an incredible experience sharing a classroom with 27 other posotive, energized people, all in the same situation, as they made a this same change in their lives. I will, as most of my classmates, be working toward a degree (a Master's degree in my case) over the next few years.

We're also returning to the track this weekend. So, if you see someone with a little bigger smile than usual, it's probably me.
