The banner image is a detail from the Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge over the Cooper River in historic Charleston, SC, where I used to live, and still visit often. To me, it conveys a strong sense of place, and embodies my values, interests and tastes, because:
-
I love technology
-
I taught in the South Carolina Technical College system, which educates future technology workers
-
I love the beauty of Charleston, and its support for the arts
-
I believe in the transformational and economic power of the arts and technology
-
The bridge suggests the connection between South Carolina’s past and future
-
Education is an essential bridge to my students' future
-
To me, the image’s skyward orientation suggests optimism and ambition
-
I think it is a beautiful bridge
