Where I come From:

I was born an raised up north in the state of Pennslyvania.  I enlisted into the United States Marine Corps when I was 17 and shipped off to boot camp upon completing high school.  After serving 5 years in military inteligence I was honorably discharged and used my G.I. bill to head off to college for free.  I am certified to teach all subjects K-6th and Math and Science K through 9th grade.  This will be my 1st year teaching at Trexler Middles School but my 9th year teaching.  I have taught Math, Science, and social studies during those years with math being my favorite subject to teach!

Who I am:

I am happily married with 3 children.  My two step sons are in 4th and 3rd grade at MVES and my daughter is 3 years old!  My wife and I have been happily married for well over 4 years and looking forward to many more together!

I love reading, writing, rugby, and I dabble with woodworking.  I just got my workshop started during this last summer vacation and so far have managed to produce one maple kitchen table and several chairs and am looking forward to trying to fashion some of my own desks for this school year.

Contact Information:
