From Todd:
Thought you would like to know what I have up to for the last 41 years.
After high school, I attended and graduated from Allegheny College, in Meadville, PA with a B.A. in English and n M.A. in Education. I began teaching in the Cleveland area in 1970.
I have been involved with alternative high school education since 1974, when I helped start and teach in a school for potential drop-outs that continued for 26 years in the Berea, Ohio area. I have been involved with Young Life since 1963, and have been active in Young Life leadership and committees since 1970.
My wife, Carol, and I were married in Cleveland in 1975 (32 years this year!)
Following teaching in the Berea City School District, I was the Minister of Christian Education for six years at Bay Presbyterian Church in Bay Village, Ohio. I also worked in business for six years, as a senior account executive in employee benefits for New England Life and as a group pension specialist for CIGNA.
I returned to education as a teacher at an at-risk high school, was an assistant high school principal, a principal of an at-risk high school, and a principal at a career-technical high school. I was certified as a public school superintendent in Ohio, and started work on a Ph.D. in Urban Education at Cleveland State University
Moving to Colorado in 2001, I was involved at Pikes Peak Academy, an alternative Christian high school for at risk students in Colorado Springs, as a teacher, principal, and executive director. I am currently the Vice President for Education for the National Association of Street Schools, headquartered in Denver, an organization that builds capacity in over 50 faith-based schools for at-risk and underserved students in 27 cities across the country.
My family lives in Monument, Colorado, just north of the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, with two daughters, one at Wheaton College, in Illinois, and one in middle school.
I am really looking forward to seeing many good friends after so many years.
