All of this is the foundation of my biography. Next there is career which I must say has been beyond wonderful. My work has not been work to me it has been totally rewarding, enjoyable and after college teaching for over 45 years I can say day in and day out at least 95% of my days were great days.

Teaching and Research Interests: Teaching for me has been the greatest career experience I could have possibly had. Sharing learning in the field of psychology: discussing ideas, theories, philosophies, facts, self exploration, questions, beliefs, etc., etc. Teaching as a career, I could not imagine that there would be a more enjoyable, rewarding life. It has been a life of never ending learning, sharing, and wondering.
