I was hired as a Social Studies teacher at Frankfurt High School in Germany. I taught US History and coached football and soccer for six years. In 1979, I was selected as principal for a small elementary school in Delmenhorst Germany. The next year, I became assistant Principal at Kaiserslautern high school.
