I came to teaching late, after working as a postal worker, and 33 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else. Outside the classroom I fix old bicycles. Inside it, I learn every name in the first week. If we met, say hello. I'd love to know how life turned out.

Subjects taught

Special education French Design and technology

What gifts mean to Brett: A gift would go toward books and supplies for the students I still tutor.
