The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. ​ ​Sydney J. Harris

I do what I can to support learning

especially my own, to be neither virtuous nor a scoundrel, but to be thrifty, useful, reasonable, understanding, fulfilled, and invested in my communities.
​Currently, I write and draw to explore places, history, ideas, and actions... real and imagined. 
Resume
Things that I have done, that I can remember, to earn money or resist becoming famous. My resume was updated more than a few years ago.
Volleyball Resume
My friends and experiences from the volleyball world are significant. I learned much from the sport community, and work to return the favor, noted here, and most recently with The Volleyball Practice (TVP).
