October 2023 - The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects
The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects is a book by Edward J. Ruppelt, the army air force officer in charge of Project Blue Book. It was published in 1956. It's a fascinating read, and I highly recommend you check it out!

This is a Youtube video I created during the chaos of the pandemic to provide myself a little moment of peace from my hometown.
I hope you find it peaceful, too!

This is a Youtube video I made for my students at East Central during my first year of teaching.
I wanted to create a message for my students, who I would not be finishing the year with.
For those looking back from the future, my school, as well as thousands across the nation, closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I hope they liked it, and I hope you like it, too!
