I'm a teacher working with at-risk students in an alternative secondary school in White Rock, BC.

I live on 5 acres close to Vancouver, Canada, on B.C.'s south coast in the Pacific Northwest. My computer faces a huge picture window that looks out across the rest of Surrey and the Fraser River valley all the way to the Coast Mountains on the North Shore of Burrard Inlet.
