About Me
About Me
After spending 13 years as a student in the Ramsey Public Schools, I earned my Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Mathematics and Mathematics Education from Rutgers University in New Brunswick. I have been teaching at Ramsey High School since 1999, primarily as a math and computer science teacher, but I have also taught physics here at RHS.
I currently coach golf and cross-country at the varsity level, and coached basketball in my earlier years in Ramsey. I feel that being involved in extracurricular activities, including, but not limited to, athletics, builds character and develops skills, mindsets, habits, and memories that last a lifetime!
In my spare time, I love to spend time outdoors running, traveling, and cooking a great meal for my wife and family.
