MATHEMATICS

After serving in the US Navy for 2 years, I soon found myself a single mother of a 3 year old and spent the next 15 years dedicated to raising her to be independent, driven, and focused while still retaining that creativity so necessary in today s work force. I ve also had a varied career life. I started in accounting and worked for a small company in the building industry. Then I realized this wasn t giving me the home time needed to raise my daughter. Therefore, I returned to school to become a mathematics teacher, a career that not only affords me the scheduling freedoms I need but also provides me with personal satisfaction and creative latitude as well as a certain degree of autonomy.

A Mathematics teacher with experience from grades 6 through 12, who has also taught mathematics and basic medical dosages at local community college. I have worked in foodservice, retail, and law enforcement - working for Dept. of Homeland Security. I have 4 children, 2 young daughters at home with me, and two others from a failed marriage who I no longer have contact with, due to bitterness of divorce and remarriage and relocation of children s mother.

Completed high school in a very rural town called Dickson, TN. Completed my undergraduate degree at Austin Peay State University in clarksville, TN.

Sonny was born and raised in Northern California. He earned his degrees in California's Central Valley and now works as a teacher in Southern Nevada. With degrees in Mathematics, logic is the basis of his “against the grain” point of view. For some insane reason, the people, with power, just don't use logic. He hopes to help everyone understand what makes sense, instead of what's always been done. He's an avid fan of the Oakland Raiders, Manny Pacquiao, the Cameroon National Soccer team, Oakland Athletics, Chicago Fire, and the Fresno State Bulldogs

"If you want to work, first get off your butt. If you cannot get off your butt, then at least sit in front of a computer or pick up some paper and a pen or pencil." "Do not complain about companies that make a big profit and move plants overseas if you buy any of their products." "One of the biggest problems America faces is the immigrant issue. Regrettably, the country has immigrants that owe their allegiance to Democrat, Republican, Tea Party, Green, Libertarian, Socialist, NAZI, and others. So many are in our country, Americans sometimes cannot vote or run for office until they pledge allegiance to one of those others. If their allegiance is not to America, they need to leave." "When you vote, use your brain, not a line. Line voting is the longest path to your goal." "Do you trust an economist who really thinks consumers will choose 5 lbs. of sugar in a brown bag over 5 lbs. of sugar in a fancy bag and with a name brand?" "The easiest way to get a job in this economy is to make one." "Americans really do manufacture goods still. Unfortunately, Americans rarely buy the goods." "If you think I am wacko, you need to get over it. I did."
