When we recorded our first season of shows in 2007, we were both full-time educators in the San Francisco Bay Area. During the summer our teaching careers provided the time to explore our interests and special projects, including the Fun Addicts TV Show.
Joni was a resource specialist at an elementary school. She taught students who have learning differences and supported other educators in fulfilling the unique needs of the students they served. Outside her classroom, Joni was involved in issues related to the field of education. She retired from full-time teaching in 2024.
Rich had a 30-year career that included video production, website creation and graphic design. Starting in 2003 he taught high school radio, television, film making and multimedia classes full-time. He retired from full-time teaching in 2021, then taught community college students part-time from August 2022 until retiring in December, 2023.
We like traveling, spending time with family and friends, and taking our dog for walks.
Rich also spends time catching up on past projects, including The Fun Addicts TV Show. While all footage for the first season was recorded in 2007, only three episodes were edited by the start of 2008. Rich now has the time to finish editing the rest of the episodes.
