I am a father of three, but only have one wife. I am named after my father as is my son.  Helena is named for Helen of Troy. I just like the name Ada. Always being me is an awesome responsibility. I teach mathematics at Southwest High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I grew up in upstate New York, in a small city named Gloversville. I graduated from Nazareth College of Rochester with a BA degree in mathematics. I live in Uptown, Minneapolis. I enjoy reading economics books. My favorite band is the Delgados. I like the kind of football others call soccer. I can recognize many cloud formations.
