About Me

I'm a CTE teacher and the advisor for our award-winning Oly TV and yearbook teams. It's a privilege to support students as they cover all things Gateway. Our five-time state championship Oly TV team has been featured on local news, earned several state accolades, and even made the trip to SkillsUSA Nationals. Goooo Olys!

Outside of school, I'm a husband and a father to three wonderful kids. Our home is a lively one with two dogs, a cat, and a general lack of quiet moments. I'm a lifelong learner with a passion for home improvement projects, tending to the lawn, playing golf, and cheering on the Yankees.
