About Clyde

Okay, this is a page I swore I would never write. But after having this page on the net in one form or another in different places for 3 1/2 years, I guess its about time. I plan to add to this page over time as I figure out what I want to include on it. One thing you won't find here, probably never, is my real name. Clyde is a childhood nickname that I have always used online and always will. :)

Clyde was given to me by my brother after an orangtuan named Clyde in the movie Every Which Way but Loose. I'll explain more at a later date why this was so appropriate for me.

I have spent far more time as a college student than I had ever intended. To show for it, I have degrees in music education, health, and special education. I play saxophone and piano, though both are currently a little rusty. I'm trying to fix that.:) I spent all that time going to school at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, MO where I currently live. Northwest is the 1998 Division II National Football Champions.:) For the clueless, Maryville is a town of 15,000 located 1 1/2 hours northwest of Kansas City, MO. Sometimes its boring, but I like it most of the time.

Currently, I am completing my 2nd year of teaching. I teach middle school (grades 5-8) special education in the Nodaway-Holt R-VII School District, located 20 miles southwest of Maryville. This year, I have also acted as technology coordinator. Next year, I am returning to full-time teaching. The two halves of my job just don't go together very well. So I had to choose one. I'm also the school's webmaster. And my students each year write a web page. Check out their work. I would also like to get into designing web pages for other people and organizations. So if you like what you see here and at my other sites, email me.

More to come, so check back :)
