About Me:: Speaker, Author, Consultant, Trainer, Lover of Learning, Collector of Friends! Former junior high teacher, middle school principal, university professor. I love digital photography, woodworking, and ham radio (especially Morse Code). [dah-di-dah-dit dah-dah-di-dah]

It was my pleasure to have served a term on the ISTE Board just a few years ago. During that time, I became a staunch fan of the ISTE staff in Eugene, because I was able to witness how hard they work and how selfless they are.

I have attended every NECC since 1993 (Orlando). Each one contributes more friends into my treasure chest of dear friends. I am confident that the San Antonio gathering will be the same.

Favorite quotes:
• "You can have everything in life you want, if you'll just help enough OTHER people get what THEY want!" -- Zig Ziglar

• "The bitterness of poor quality lingers LONNNNNNG after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!" -- My dad (I guess that's why I use a Mac!)

• "The main difference between a big shot and a little shot is that the big shot was a little shot who just kept on shooting!" --Mary Kay Ash

• "A wise person is marked by the ability to generate incisive questions, not by the ability to contrive answers." --Dr. John F. Perry, Jr.

• and, a "wordless" quote that my mother gave me many times -- a simple, encouraging smile! Although she's gone now, I still harvest the bounty from those seeds she planted and planted and planted.

For those interested, I have two blogs: 1. Think Like A Leader podcast blog -- http://nctpcast.libsyn.com 2. National Technology Planning blog -- general thoughts on planning, leadership, etc. I hope you will be able to join my ramblings and readings on either or both of those blogs.

Hey, keep Tuesday happy hour open if possible at NECC 5:00-6:30. PS it was the swishing swatting tails of those durn cows hitting me every which way that left me dreading every milking chores. oh I know you could cobble their hocks and tie in their tails but even that had dangers:)

Here is the link to my dad's work. The Woodspinner shows some of his works with his lamp shade creations. If you visit his website "Soren Berger" you will see some of the tools he has invented.

Kind Regards
