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.
