Hello.





Welcome to my blog! A little about myself. I am a media junkie. I watch the news everyday. I read six newspapers a day (three of those are online). I also listen to quite a bit of radio to and from work. I worked in radio and tv for 11 years before I left to go into education, which I really love. Where did I work? Here's a list of my stops. In radio, there was WNCG FM in Clyde, Ohio, WQKT FM and WKVX AM in Wooster, WHBC AM and FM in Canton, WJER AM and FM in Dover, and WCER AM in Canton. On the tv side, I worked for four years at WAKC TV 23 in Akron as a news/sports producer.


I want to use this blog as an educational tool for the classes that I teach at Aurora High School in lovely Aurora, Ohio. I teach three classes. The first period class is an elective of just Aurora students. The second class is three periods long and consists of junior students from different schools. And the last class I teach is made up of senior students from different schools. I see the senior consortium students twice a week in class and the rest of the week, they work at internships.
Working with students is great because I see the hunger to be successful. I get so much enjoyment in seeing projects go from storyboard to final export to a dvd.
In the photo above, that's Cleveland Cavaliers legend Mark Price on the left. I interviewed him when he was being honored as part of the Cavs' 35th anniversary team. I'll upload more photos of my past in future posts.

Good to see you up and running Struke. Mark Price, I loved watching that guy play. Dead-on shot; always a reliable presence on the court for the Cavs.

Mark Price was the man in the open court. I couldn't believe how fearless he was on the break to pull up and shoot jump shots.
