About Me
A teacher for 44 years, I retired from the faculty at Western Illinois University and then became the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of McDonough County Illinois for about two years. I have authored and co-authored eighteen books. Pleasantly married, and a proud father of three children, I enjoy many side projects such as this ventilator project, other projects = see menu items across the top of this page, and enjoying the farm where I grew up. I currently reside in Macomb, Illinois.
For those who do not mind to suffer = see VITA below
