Bert is a retired public school teacher now living in Charlotte, North Carolina, with friends and family.

After ten years of on-and-off college, extensive travel, and various jobs, from dishwasher to mobile home sales and service, fate set a new course for his life, as revealed in this book.

Once he settled down at 28, he taught 7th-grade Social Studies for 14 years at Dublin Middle School in Dublin, Virginia. For the next 12 years, he taught World and U.S. History and Human Geography at Patrick Henry High School in Roanoke, Virginia. In two of those years, he served as the director of the Center for Humanities and became a National Board Certified Social Studies teacher. His last ten years were devoted to his passion for teaching human geography at New River Community College as an adjunct faculty member for evening classes, and he was an instructional technology resource teacher during those ten years. He assisted classroom teachers with integrating various technologies across many Montgomery County, Virginia public schools, with extended placements at Blacksburg High School and Christiansburg High School.

Bert was active with the Virginia Geographic Alliance as the Director of the Southwest Region of Virginia for ten years. He received the Virginia Outstanding Geography Teacher award in 1996 and the National Council for Geographic Education Excellence in Geography award in 1998. In 1996, he was a Teacher Consultant with the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C., and the following year, he became an instructor to the next group of educators from every state, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Bert now spends his retirement years with his wife, Angie, sons Daniel and Marcus, their wives, Kristen and Jaclyn, and five grandchildren. He has finally learned to play guitar left-handed and has been an avid sports card collector for 65 years. Playing pickleball keeps him active, but his favorite activity is spending his life with Angie, to whom he owes eternal happiness.
