About Me

Thanks for checking out this page on my biographical information!  It is important for students and parents to know a little about their 8th Grade Social Studies teacher!

I am a proud two-time graduate from The University of Akron.  I have a Bachelor's Degree in Middle Child Education (Language Arts and Social Studies Endorsements) and a Master's Degree in "The Principalship."

I just celebrated my fourth wedding anniversary with my wife, Laura, on June 16!  She is the Fund Development and Marketing Director at Greenleaf Family Center (Akron, OH).

  Laura and I on Bailey Island, Maine.

I have two wonderful Beagles named Cally and Finny.  Below, they are relaxing on the couch.

My hobbies include: attending sporting events, biking the CVNP towpath, hiking, and traveling!

Check out some of my vacation pics below...

Here I am hiking the Grand Canyon, AZ.        

Proudly wearing my Cavs shirt in Boston next to Paul Revere.

My Nordonia cap made it to the ancient Tulum ruins in Mexico.    

This won't go over real well with diehard Clevelanders, but I am a huge Pittsburgh sports fan.  My father (a former journalist) covered the Pirates and Steelers championships in my birth year of '79, so I never really had a choice in the matter!

I am also a huge supporter of The University of Akron's athletic squads. I attend football, basketball, and almost all of the matches played by the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP winning men's soccer team!!!!!

Thanks again for viewing my "About Me" section.  I can't wait to learn more about you throughout the 2011-2012 school year!
