My Bio
I grew up in the southern-tier of western New York state surrounded by the beauty of the rolling hills and endless lush countryside.  In 1987, I came to Rochester to attend Roberts Wesleyan College where I earned a bachelors of science degree in Art Education.  Most importantly though, I met the woman who would later become my wife.  I went on to earn a Masters of Liberal Arts Studies degree from SUNY College at Brockport.

I have had the privilege of teaching Technology Education in the Webster Central School District since the 1997-98 school year. Before moving to Webster, I taught both Art and Technology Education in other local school districts. Currently I teach Introduction to Photography, Advanced Photography & Digital Imaging, and Design and Drawing for Production.

I have been happily married since 1990.  We live in the village of Webster, NY where we are raising the two best children in the world.
