Around 1988 I began to recognize that an ideal career for me should I never have to work for money would be teaching middle school kids how to solve puzzles. Not how to solve a particular puzzle, but how to think about solving puzzles when faced with them. Sounds like life, doesn't it? In the 4th career, started in 1999, I taught adults how to solve problems. Amazing.
In 2009, I begain designing and selling swimming pools. Also amazing.
I started this site for my 1st Radio Battalion band of brothers in 2003. |
