The obligatory introduction

I am an educator with over 30 years of experience in South Georgia, both as a classroom teacher and in the role of instructional technology support. I am a husband and father to two remarkable young adults. My family ingrained in me the values of public service, the imperative of respect for others, and the belief that justice and integrity are non-negotiable and absolute. I hope that in some measure I have conveyed those same ideals to my children (and to my students).

In recent years, I have been increasingly troubled that the tremendous promise of our state is being thwarted by political forces which act to preserve power, opportunity, and wealth for a privileged few, while ignoring practical ways to improve the lives of all Georgians. This blog is my effort to gather my thoughts and to shape the debate for a more just Georgia.
