I have been teaching at York High School for twelve Years. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Delaware and my Teaching Certification from Christopher Newport University. I love teaching History and enjoy the opportunity to teach so close to Yorktown, Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg. I have been married for twenty nine years to my wife Patricia and we have two rambunctious dogs,  a Border Collie named Geno, and a Jack Russell named Petunia. I coach Track and Field, both Indoor and Outdoor, at York High School as well as the Junior Varsity Academic Challenge Team. I also assist Coach Jackson and Coach Rice with Cross Country and Debate from time to time. I enjoy running and playing music as well as reading and kayaking. I have been selected to teach at the Governor's School for the Arts and Humanties at the University of Richmond for the past two years and I have enjoyed the opportunity to work with so many gifted students. I received the York County High School Teacher of the Year award in 2002 and recently was honored by being awarded the Michael Sullivan or Sully Award in 2007.
