This is my 26th year in the English Division at OPRFHS. There's no other place I'd rather be! I love being here. And while we will read and discuss some interesting stories, novels, poetry, and articles, we will be exploring who we are in this world. 

I have spent the majority of my career teaching freshmen, but I also teach senior electives and have advised the yearbook staff for 25 years. Not only have I been in the classroom, I am an OPRF Boys' Lacrosse coach entering my 20th season and I am a certified Driver Education instructor.

Books and Supplies:
Various authors (short story collection),  The Odyssey, Medea, Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Ribay,

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens,
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare,
Independent reading books (student will select throughout the year)
Selected short stories and poetry (packets provided)
Chromebook (charged)  daily
Pen and/or pencil and notebook/loose-leaf daily

Some facts about me:

• I graduated from OPRFHS in 1993.

• I am a 5th generation Oak Parker; I still live in the community with my wife (also a DOOPER...ask me what that is!), three sons, and our Golden Retriever.

• I love Halloween.
