Story: I am a HS math teacher working on my MS in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on Math Education, state champion swim coach, jumper, chess coach, 12 inch and 16 inch softball player, vollyball player, and bowler. I graduated HS in 95 and NIU in 99. At that time, I held 2 NIU swimming records. My senior year I swam at Nationals and placed in the top 10 in 2 different events. Once I stopped swimming I needed to find a new sport, and that is when I started jumping. The rest of the sports are just for fun during the week nights on those long summer breaks I get. Eventually I plan on being a Tandem Master and Freefall instructor, (AFP for SDC) but that is a good 2 years away, got to get that MS first.
