| | '''Greetings!''' I have been at Citizendium since the private pilot began. I held the role of ''Assistant to the Chief Constable'' for over a year, and now only have the time to ''author'' occasionally. I do this because ''educators educate'', and vocationally I am an educator. |

| My Christian [[missiology]] is strongly informed by the ideas of the [[U.S. Center for World Mission]], while I most identify with the [[home church]] movement, and some with the [[emerging church]], [[mennonite]], and [[liberation theology]] movements. However, I am comfortable amidst a considerably large array of Christian movements, so long as they adhere to the stipulates of the [[Nicene Creed]].
| | ===About me=== |
|
| |
|
| As a way to organize social and economic activity and relations, I think [[anarcho-syndicalism]] is superior to [[hegemonic]] [[globalization|global]] [[capitalism]].

|
| I am an international [[community development]] specialist and [[Critical pedagogy|critical adult educationlist]] among [[poverty|impoverished]] and traditionally [[Oppression|oppressed people]] groups. I teach [[interdisciplinary]] English, social sciences, literature, writing, special topics, and computers. The ideas of [[Paulo Freire]] and [[Ira Shor]] strongly inform my [[pedagogy]]. I have worked and/or researched within [[Mexico]], [[Guatemala]], [[El Salvador]], [[Haiti]], and most recently the [[Insular area|U.S.-Pacific island]] of [[Saipan]].

| Ever since my teen years I have been a skilled musician. I play bass guitar, keyboards, guitar, recorder, sing, have written songs, and play professionally whenever the rest of my life permits.

| ===Education===
| |
| I will complete this December an M.Ed. in [http://www.edst.educ.ubc.ca/programs/algc.html Adult Learning and Global Change] from the [[University of British Columbia]]. Prior, I graduated highest in my class from the [[Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College]] of [[Florida Atlantic University]] with concentrations in [[anthropology]] and [[political science]]. Before that, I earned my [[GED|GED diploma]] and studied for one year at [[Youth With A Mission]]'s (YWAM) [[University of the Nations]]. I am on sabbatical from work until 2007 and am currently debating whether to return to work at that time or study for a doctorate.

| ===Family===
| |
| Beyond [[Christ]], the most important thing in life to me is my [[family]].
| |
| | |
| I have been married for nearly 15 years and have three school-aged children, one of whom we [[homeschool]]. I met my wife while we were in [[YWAM]]. She is a [[missionary kid]] who was born in Bolivia to missionaries in the [[Grace_Movement#Grace_Movement|Grace Movement]] and is an over ten-year survivor of [[Hodgkin's Lymphoma]].
| |
| | |
| Best information indicates that I am of [[Jewish]] and English/Irish descent. During [[World War II]], my Jewish biological mother hid in fear of [[Benito Mussolini]] within a [[Catholic]] [[Monastery]]. Amongst Catholic sisters, she converted to Christ, and along with a good number of other similarly-hiding Italian-Jews of the time, monestarians aided her to escape to the United States. I was born much later and, ironically, was adopted into a German family. I have never met any of my biological relatives.
| |
| | |
| ===Hobbies===
| |
| Original and library-based academic study, and scholarly and creative writing, are my all-time favorite personal activities. Beyond this, I enjoy music, film, and theatre of many genres and eras; outdoor life including, fishing, camping, backpacking and hunting; and, ethnic cooking, computers (including [[Linux]]), and travel.

| ==Contributions==
| |
| I enjoy contributing because it allows me to expand my knowledge bases. While my contributions to date have been in relatively narrow areas, my interests are actually wide-ranging.

| ==What would I say to others?==
| |
| #'''Cite while you write. Please!''' It takes probably five times more time for someone to come along and dig up citations for your work than for you to just ''cite while you write''!
| |
| | |
| ==Talk==
| |
| I welcome you to my talk page!
