About Jim Epler / Jim Epler  

I currently reside in San Diego, CA with my wife and one very senior and very sassy tabby cat. Quite the fastidious creature, Normie's nickname is OBACHAN which in Japanese means "old lady" or grandmother. She's tiny ( < 6 lbs) and looks like a kitten even though she's almost 16 years old!

Recently, I've taught in the Educational Technology department at San Diego State University and in a large high school district in El Cajon, CA. I grew up on the East Coast near Philadelphia in a lovely little town named Ridley Park, lived and worked in Washington, D.C. and attended graduate school at the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. I received my B.A. in History Education at the University of Delaware- go Blue Hens!!- and had the special privilege of studying abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland (UK).

I'm a devoted but masochistic Philly sports fan who has been waiting patiently since 1983 for one of the four major Philadelphia sports teams to deliver the city another world championship. I find delight in life's simple pleasures including hanging out with my wife, dining at one of our favorite restaurants and catching a good flick at the movies.
