This will be my ninth year teaching in Natick and my twenty-sixth year teaching in total. I grew up in Connecticut and attended college at UMass Amherst for my BA. After teaching for one year in South Korea, and then for two years with the Peace Corps in Thailand, I returned to the US and attended Northern Arizona University to earn a post-BA teaching credential. In 2019 I earned a Masters in Education from Endicott College along with a school administrator license. My wife (also a teacher) and I lived and taught in southern Oregon for 15 years before moving back to New England in 2014, to be closer to family and the best school systems in the country! I love spending time with my family, cooking delicious meals, exercising in a variety of ways, and chasing our two chihuahuas around the house!
