Hello and Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year. 

This is my 24th year of teaching and 9th year of teaching here at RMS.   I am one of three PE/health teachers.  

Before moving to Simpsonville in 2015 from Long Island NY,  I taught PE/health and coached soccer and track for 15 years.  I received my Masters Degree in physical education, and hold a Business Degree in finance from Hofstra University, NY.   I was very fortunate to receive a full scholarship to play Division 1 soccer for Hofstra.   In addition to teaching, I coach for RMS and CESA (Carolina Elite Soccer Academy)

My beautiful  and caring wife is a special education teacher at Beck Academy.   August 9th we will celebrating 25 years of marriage. I have three awesome children.  Andrew is 23 and a graduate of Mauldin HS and University of South Carolina.  He is currently pursuing his career path to becoming a doctor of pharmacy at Prisma.  Emily is 20, a graduate from Hillcrest HS and going into her 3rd year at the College of Charleston and is majoring psychology.   Olivia, 18 is a graduate of Mauldin HS and majoring in Biology at the University of South Carolina. We also have 3 cats and a bunny.

Teaching and coaching have always been tremendous passions of mine, and I am excited to be able to work with your children here at RMS.   Looking forward to Great Year!

Physical Education and Health  is an important part of every child's educational experience. Remember that we are not fully educated until we are physically educated. All classes provide a variety of activities that are physically challenging, mentally motivating, emotionally healthy, and socially sound. It is my desire that through our physical education program, students will discover how important it is to be physically active for a lifetime. PE provides educational experiences, in cooperation with the home and community, that prepare students for lifelong learning!
