PERSONAL PROFILE

I am happily married and the proud father of three wonderful children, Allie, Ryan and Kristin. I am originally from Greenwich, New York and moved to North Carolina after graduating college from SUNY Potsdam in 1999. I taught in Davidson County before moving to Raleigh, where I taught at Dillard Drive for 7 years. I enjoy playing and watching basketball, soccer and tennis. I am a huge Tar Heel fan, which can sometimes make trouble at home with my wife, an NC State graduate. Somebody once repeated a quote to me, which has stuck in my mind throughout my life. “The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary.” I’ve always believed that hard work will have its rewards in life.
