I have been teaching English since 1986. I started out teaching Composition and Public Speaking at Lackawanna Jr. College in Scranton, PA when a professor went on sick leave. In 1987, I accepted a position as Senior and A.P. English teacher at Bishop Hannon High School in Scranton, PA. In 1989, my father became ill, so I left teaching and helped him in his real estate business. In 1990, I was asked by the English Department at the University of Scranton to teach three sections of Composition.
