I earned a Bachelor of Arts in History, with minor concentrations in British Government and Psychology, as well as a Master of Arts in Teaching from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey. During my undergraduate studies, I was honored as the recipient of the Best Graduating History Major award and completed two study abroad programs during my 3 years

I have been teaching full time for eight years and have been working in the field of education since 2012. My international experience includes teaching English in Benin (West Africa), Kinmen (Taiwan), and Tokyo (Japan). Domestically, I have taught history and social studies in Leonardtown, Maryland; Morris Plains, New Jersey; and Readington, New Jersey.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy coin collecting, reading, hiking, and traveling both domestically and internationally. I also value spending time with my wife and daughter, listening to podcasts, and working on a book that reflects on my life and travel experiences.
