Born and raised in Rochester, NY., I moved to Arizona in 1993 to begin a teaching career. I'm married to a great wife named Denise and have four wonderful children Tyler, Justin, Dylan, and Courtney. My beliefs in education are that students should make the most of high school and work hard not only in the classroom, but also in athletics, clubs, bands, and activities to help fulfill their young lives. Education allows many doors to open, but to enjoy learning you must first enjoy being involved. In class students are reminded of the fact that those who succeed, are also those who have worked hard and experienced life to its' fullest.
