"Why
do you teach, Mr. Storey?"
|
|
Because it's the
best job
anyone could ever hope to have!
Think about
it,........ you
get paid to learn about the fascinating living world all around
us, and then you lead discussions on all kind of interesting topics
about
living things! Just about everyone is curious about living things, and
I have the privilege of helping students discover all of this "neat
stuff."
Texarkana College
is a first
class institution that truly cares about it's students and in my
opinion
there is not a finer group of professionals anywhere! The faculty is
the
strength of any educational institution and we are blessed with a
fantastic
group that work very hard with students in order to prepare them for
what
is to come in their lives... out in the real world. It truly is
an
honor to work with such a dedicated group of people. I can sum it up
this
way....How many people can say that they really, LOVE going to
work
every day! ( See Storey's
Teaching Philosophy) |

The Extra
Boring "Stuff"
I was
born and raised in Bryan / College Station, Texas, the son of a Professor
of Horticulture and Plant Physiology at Texas
A&M University at College Station.
(That's
right , I
am a 100% tried and true AGGIE!... I bleed maroon....Gig'em,
saw
varsity's
horns off etc.) I graduated from TAMU with a B.S. in
Horticulture
in 1983.
I
continued my education
by completing a M.S. in Biology / Agricultural Plant Science at Texas
A&M University-Commerce along the way.
I
managed a family owned
regional fruit growing & shipping company, STOREY ORCHARDS
(peaches,
plums & blueberries) from 1984-1995.In revitalizing the company, we
planted 40 acres of irrigated peaches and built a packing / storage
&
sales building and later our home utilizing a rather unique building
technique
for this part of the world called rammed earth.
The
farm was started by my grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Moody T. Storey in
1932. Due to several successive spring freeze/frost and hail events in
the 1990's we were forced to reduce the farming operations to a
small-part
time enterprise in 1996.

and friends around the world
