I'm very education oriented. In my business I "employ" several assistants who I teach my trade. I am continuously growing and learning new things and consider life an adventure where you move from opportunity to opportunity. I am very hands-on in my teaching, but I also challenge people to think for themselves and be independent.

I taught for AT&T professionally for 7 years, computer science and programming and career development. I have used advanced learning techniques, accelerated learning methods, techniques based on learning for children, to teach adults.

In school, sometimes it's hard to be motivated, so I use little tricks to find interest in less exciting subjects. I teach this approach to my students. And the motivation is sometimes simply to complete a task in order to move on to something more interesting...
