I started my teaching career at Simonsen Ninth Grade Center in 2014. For five years, I co-taught an integrated English I and Social Studies course. When Capital City opened in 2019, I took on a new role, and became the yearbook and newspaper production instructor, and did so for 4 years. For the past few years, I have been teaching English II.

I make it a goal to be involved as much as possible at Capital City! Whether it's teaching, being a Student Council advisor, or announcing Cavalier athletic events, I bleed silver and blue!

I grew up outside of St. Louis, Missouri and I went to high school at Christian Brothers College (CBC) High School. I loved my high school experience, and the teachers I had in school inspired me to become an educator!

During my sophomore and senior years of high school, I was in a number of high school theatre productions. My senior year, I was also a Varsity basketball manager and statistician for the Varsity football team. When I wasn't doing anything like that, I was cheering loudly in the spirit section!

I really enjoy seeing the growth that students show during their time in high school. Even between your freshman to sophomore year, there is an incredible transformation. One of my favorite things about teaching is knowing that I may have made an impact on somebody's life, be it tiny or a lot. For me, that's what it is all about.

Yes! I am the proud father to my 4 year old daughter, Mila! She is amazing!

Yes! I have two dogs. Their names are Luca and Pinky, and they are both Australian Shepherd Mixes. 

I really like chicken wings, and if I ever see a menu with cheese fries...it's a buy.

I really enjoy playing golf, shopping for vintage stuff, taking my dogs on a walk, and spending time with friends and family! I'm also a pretty crafty person, so whenever I can design things, that's a good way to pass the time.
