Maenor o Teigr
I am a fifty-something year old family man and school principal. I have lived in Southern Colorado since I was in sixth grade. It is the best place to live in the world because of the climate, mountains, people, and food.
I have been an educator in Pueblo School District No.70 since 1996. I am the principal at Beulah School of Natural Sciences. I love working at this school, and with these people. Prior to this I was a fourth grade teacher at Prairie Winds Elementary for six years, and before that I was the assistant principal at Pleasant View Middle School, and before that I taught fourth grade at Pueblo West Elementary for nine years. I am a licensed teacher and principal in the state of Colorado.
I have an Associates Degree in History, a Bachelors Degree in English, and a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies.
My wife teaches French at Pueblo West High School.
I am also a lifelong member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It is a medieval re-creation / recreation group that has been around since “The Last Tournament” in Berkley, California in May of 1965. I found it in 1977 when I was 15 years old. I was initially attracted by the heavy fighting, but stayed because of the people. The SCA’s ideals and people have shaped who I am; what I believe; what I try to be; and what I try to teach. Some of the contents of this page applies specifically to thriving in the SCA, but most of it pertains to a broader sense of living a right and noble life. A life that works toward the benefit of the commonweal.

Things We've Experienced Together
Scout 2003-2013
The name for this web site came from my dog, 'Scout.' It was a nickname we had for him around the house because of how swiftly and silently he came out of the shadows when something interesting was going on-- like a sandwich was being made.
