I grew up in Dunkirk NY and graduated from Dunkirk High School in 1990.  I began my teaching career in 1995 in Raleigh NC.  In 1998 I returned back to Western New York and began teaching at Jamestown High School.  I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Earth Science Education and Master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from SUNY Fredonia.  I currently reside in Fredonia with my wife Kelly and three children Will, AJ, and Erin.  Outside of school I enjoy coaching  softball and attending local sporting events.  I really enjoy teaching at Jamestown and I like to infuse fun and humor with my daily lessons.  I look forward to having a successful year!!
