About Me: I was born and raised in Missouri, and educated in Missouri, Indiana, Bavaria, and Minnesota. I taught in Indiana, Minnesota, Bavaria, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Although I am proud to have been born a Missouri Mule, I am equally proud to be a Wisconsin Badger. My hobbies include collecting and listening to German popular music, going on long bicycle rides, and photographing everything in sight!
