I was born in Germany, graduate of the University of Michigan, majored in Geography and Education, graduate work was in Administration and Mathematics. Taught at E. L. Constance, NMHS from 1952 through 1976. Taught Core Program of Science and Geography when we were a Junior and Senior High.

I was Department Chairman of Mathematics, bringing in the first computers in Dade County to North Miami High School. Established and taught the Advanced Placement Program in Math. I had the great pleasure of teaching student through a 3 year A. P. Program. They stayed with me in Honors Algebra 2, Math, Analytical Calculus, poor souls. I was Junior Class sponsor for 3 years and Senior Class sponsor for 2 years those were fun times. Working with some of the most talented student at North Miami High School, and there were so many of them. It made my job easy and enjoyable.

I really enjoyed teaching Basic Math to the seniors who needed it for graduation. Needless to say I had a captive audience. Some seemed to appreciate the need for math and had fun with it. In 1976 I was hired to set up the Math Department and establish and teach the Advanced Math Program as well as create a math curriculum at Southridge Senior High in South Dade County. Both my son Kirk (Class of 1976) and daughter Kim (Class of 1975) graduated from North Miami High School. Kim was one of the poor souls who had her father as her teacher in the Advanced Math Program.
