I am a husband and father of three children.  I have two sons and a daughter.  My daughter just graduated from the University of South Carolina and my sons are both teachers in the Boston area.  I moved to North Carolina about three years ago from Vermont.  I graduated from Springfield College in 1989 with a degree in Physical Education.  I taught PE for a couple of years after graduating.  I started a family and my career went in a different direction.  Three years ago I decided to get back into teaching so I enrolled in the TAP program at Champlain College in Burlington, VT.  I graduated from that program in June of 2016.  Shortly after that, I moved to North Carolina.  I was hired to teach math in the fall of 2018.
