About Me
| Vermonters learn at a young age that service to others is one's lifelong duty I learned a lot about life growing up in Bellows Falls and graduating from public school (BFUHS) in 1981. As a youth, I delivered door to door the Times Reporter, Eagle Times and Brattleboro Reformer. In my teens I pumped gas, worked as truck driver at Mountain Paper and loaded trucks at St. Johnsbury Trucking, BF terminal. I was fortunate to have this upbringing; and go to college and land a job in Accounting. It wasn't enough.....In 1992 while living in Los Angeles, CA, I left a business job and took a 50% pay-cut to teach disadvantaged kids in East Los Angeles . During the next ten years I served the students of Los Angeles, helped raise 4 kids, attained my teaching credential, CPA license, enlisted in the US Navy Reserves (Seabees) and our family became foster parents. During this time, I took additional jobs to make ends meet; drove and dispatched Tour Buses, was a security guard, sound boom operator, taught Traffic School, Tutored, performed tax and accounting services, worked night shifts at a Group Home for Boys, and was lead Teacher for (CA Gov) Arnold's All Stars After School Program. My Bellows Falls and Vermont Life Skills education served me well in all situations. Thank you parents, teachers, coaches, community members, friends and family. |
