Besides attending school full time, l spent 40 hours a week running my own screen printing and photo business. he said. Working with high school stu- dents on stage craft influ- enced him in making the deci- sion to teach. He chose high school because he felt that the students would be easier to re- late to because of their matur- ity Aside from teaching, lvlr. McSpadden enjoys playing racquetball, working with his computer, and building model airplanes. I do a little bit of everything, but my job keeps me out of other extra-curricu- lar activities I used to be in- volved with. he commented.
