My name is Andres Munoz, Jr. - high school English and Journalism teacher, geek, and gamer. I am a quiet and introverted guy, avid reader and writer, and connoiseur of good food. Welcome to my website.

I graduated from St. Joseph Academy in Brownsville, TX, received my BA in English from the University of Texas at San Antonio, and my MA in English from the University of Texas at Brownsville. I taught high school English for over 13 years, and I am currently the Director of Educational Technology for a high school in Floriday. My professional interests include medieval and renaissance literature, sci-fi / fantasy / gothic literature, graphic novels, gamification, and the use of technology and virtual environments in the classroom.

Formerly a word of derision, geek is now a badge of distinction, and I am honored to have borne this badge my entire life. Geeks are known for enjoying a variety of cultural experiences that are usually labeled as "weird" by society: gaming, comic books, opera, cult television shows, and the specific genres of science fiction and fantasy. Star Wars, Dr. Who, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter are my forte. I am also a fan of British shows, such as Blackadder, The Vicar of Dibley, and Torchwood.

As a gamer, I am interested in MMORPGs, particularly World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online. I am proud to belong to the Cognitive Dissonance guild on the Sisters of Elune server, a guild composed of educators who believe in using games in the classroom. I am also an avid table-top gamer and enjoy a variety of games: Elder Sign, Munchkin, and Dungeons and Dragons are a few examples from my gaming repertoire.
