Soy el Sr. Tom Barber. ¡Me encantan el español y los idiomas extranjeros en general!
I am originally from Alexandria, Louisiana, where I grew up pulling for the LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints. That also explains why I am a big fan of the Houston Astros. [O los Astros de Houston.]
I attended Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas and graduated with a B.A. in Economics. After spending a year at the University of Bordeaux, France with a Rotary Scholarship, I attended the University of South Carolina in Columbia. After two years of study, seven months of which were spent in the South American country of Colombia, I received a Masters in International Business. I then spent 10 years in business prior to beginning to teach Spanish. I am now in my 15th year of teaching and my fifth year at Byrnes High School.
I have a lovely wife who is a violinist and violin teacher and two sons, the oldest of whom is married and attends Convenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri and the youngest of whom is an art major at USC-Upstate. Both are Byrnes graduates.
Since you can tell I'm a sports fan, I must say that some of my sports allegiances have changed over the years. My favorite college team (in all sports!) is the USC Gamecocks, my favorite NFL team is the Carolina Panthers and, of course, my favorite NBA team is the Charlotte Bobcats.
In my free time I enjoy watching sports on TV, reading in English or Spanish, studying French or Italian, running, playing tennis and spending time with my family and my 2 dogs.
I am also the Boys Tennis Coach and a sponsor of the Fellowship of Christian Students here at Byrnes.
