Bonjour! I have had the pleasure of teaching French at Lakeview since 1996. Over the years, I have worked in Mahoning and Trumbull counties teaching English and French. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Youngstown State University and my master’s degree from Walsh.

I see education as my true calling in life, though my fascination with languages began well before my career. I started traveling in kindergarten, living on three different continents by the time I was 7. My parents taught overseas for the Department of Defense, and they instilled in me a love of travel and an appreciation for world languages and cultures.

Though I moved extensively as a child, I have spent my adult life here in Ohio. I have been married for over 35 years to an incredibly supportive husband. We have one grown son, who currently lives in North Carolina. He shares our love of travel, and we often meet up for family vacations. My journeys have led repeatedly to Canada, France, and Louisiana since I have a keen interest in French history and culture.

It is truly a privilege to work with the students of Lakeview Local Schools. While doing so, I hope to broaden their horizons and instill in them the same appreciation for languages and cultures that my family inspired in me. I also look upon parents as educational allies, and working together, I am sure that we can make learning a new language a positive and enriching experience. My goal is for every one of my students to succeed, so please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

I have been teaching at Lakeview High School since 2004. During my time, I have taught Spanish levels 1, 2, 3 and 4.

I graduated from Ohio University in 2004 with a degree in the Science of Education with a concentration in Spanish Education, and I received my Master’s Degree in Leadership and Administration from Jones International University in 2007. I live in Cortland with my wife, Nikki, who teaches CCP Accounting, AP Microeconomics, Microsoft Office and Computer Programming at Twinsburg High School. We have two sons, Blake, 9, and Drew, 7, who attend Lakeview Elementary School and are very active in flag football, soccer, basketball, baseball and golf.

I am currently the Head Boys Track and Field Coach and an assistant football coach at Lakeview.
