About me

I am a husband and the proud dad of two amazing daughters, one the Union town librarian and the other a school psychologist in a nearby town. Being Dad has been my most important job. My wife Lorraine and I have lived and owned a home in Woodstock, CT for over 25 years. We both grew up in the same neighborhood of Boston, riding buses and subways to get to school and to work. (A very different world than Union!)

From a very young age I have had an insatiable curiosity for science and engineering. I came into teaching much later than most of my colleagues, having spent over 25 years working in engineering and manufacturing. My earlier careers saw me in a number of positions including design engineer, project administrator and operations manager. Of all the skills and experiences I brought with me into education, nothing has been more important than that constant curiosity to understand the unknown that I had as a kid. Nothing I have done in my professional life has given me anything close to the joy that teaching has given me.
