NEW JERSEY
After graduation,
I managed to flunk out of law school but
subsequently earned a Master's and a Doctorate in
Education from Northwestern, as well as a Master's
in Business from the Sloan School at M.I.T.
I've worked as a
public-school teacher and as a professor, as well
as a business consultant for more than 50 years.
I've taught for
the New York City public schools, for the
Northbrook, Illinois, and for the Billerica and the
Marlboro, Massachusetts, public schools. I've
taught at St. John's University, Metropolitan
College of New York, Kansas State University,
Franklin Pierce College, the School for Visual
Arts, and the Foothill DeAnza Community College
District in Cupertino, California.
My corporate
clients have included Mass Mutual Insurance,
Warner-Lambert, Cummins Engine, Sandoz
Pharmaceuticals, Baker Sand Control, Brown, Root
& Braun Engineering, Baker Communications,
Quality Mortgage, and Countrywide Credit
Industries.
I am still
working full-time as a Professor of Early Childhood
Education at the University of the District of
Columbia, teaching remotely online, in Spanish and
English.
My wife, Hilda,
is a retired special education and American Sign
Language teacher.
We are domiciled
in New Jersey but love traveling outside the
country.
Last year, I was
elected President of Global Tassels, an
international non-profit that provides free
post-secondary education to the poorest children
around the world, supporting students in India, the
Philippines, Columbia, Kenya, Cambodia and
Jamaica.
I've raised a
total of five children, two from my first marriage,
a marriage that ended in the untimely death of my
wife, Susie, at age 31, on my son's first birthday.
Two stepchildren from another marriage, and my
stepson, Joey (Hilda's son from her late first
husband -- who died while in his early
40's).
I cherish all my
memories of Bamboo , the Intramurals, Frolics,
Follies, parties on weekends, the endless card
games, and the friendships with the members of our
sister house plans I met along the way.
