Andy Reed
I am a fairly reasonable and opinionated follower of varied subjects. As a step-parent and former teacher, I am especially concerned about the sorry state of public education in our country. I am even more appalled at corporate greed, reality TV and the overuse of packaging in consumer products. An avid sports fan, I follow both college and professional teams. I believe that civil discourse is severely lacking and am grateful for public broadcasting. My wife, step-daughter and I live in Rochester, New York. I am former teacher who is now attempting to make writing a full-time career. My undergraduate degree is in Economics, with my Masters in both General and Special Education.
