About Me

Hi, this is my 7th year teaching at Lincoln Jr. High. Previously, I taught PE for 1 year at St. Leonard Catholic School in Berwyn, IL and 1 year of PE/Health at Vanden High School in Fairfield, CA. I have a Bachelors Degree in Sport Sciences (Sport Pedagogy emphasis) from the University of the Pacific (CA). I received my teaching certificate through the graduate program at California State University of Sacramento. Currently, I am enrolled in the Exercise Science Masters Degree program at Northeastern Illinois University. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my wife and our dog. I also enjoy participating in athletics; later this Fall I will be running my 6th marathon.
