About me:
Umm. I'm not exactly sure why I'm on this thing. For some strange reason, you can purchase small portraits of me at
Marty's Sock Puppet Portrait Online Emporium
I am a dedicated middle school Civics Professor. For the most part, my work is my life. I really like to go on long walks (though not in the winter!), spend time with my two hamsters, study up on Civics (the learning never ends!), and watching marathons of Trading Spaces is a real guilty pleasure of mine.
I am also a big fan of the Hip Hop music that many of my kids are now enjoying. It makes me happy to see the kids get involved in such a special body of music - every time I can share Public Enemy's 'It Takes a Nation...' with a fresh-faced 7th grader, my heart soars. Sometimes, after class (or occasionally during very special occasions like birthdays!), I'll blast some fly "jimmy-jammies" from my rather accomplished vinyl collection.
Occasionally when students stay late, they will "drop some beats," over which I enjoy "freestyling". They seem to enjoy my various improvisations, particularly as they are so richly informed by the vast hip hop/civics tapestry that is still unravelling as we speak, listen, and learn.

Who I'd like to meet:
Though my schedule is very demanding and my teaching always comes before all else, I am always interested in making friends. Other civics and hip hop enthusiasts are more than welcome!
Being a single man, I would welcome a beautiful fellow learner to share my life with, as well.
