I am from Dover, Ohio and obtained my Bachelor's degree in Physcial Education from Otterbein University where I played baseball for the Cardinals. I also received my Master's degree in Education from Muskingum University. Since 2006, I have worked in Dorchester School District Two. Before coming to Eagle Nest, I taught Physical Education and Health at Oakbrook Middle School. I have also coached football, basketball and baseball for the Fort Dorchester Patriots. My wife Amy and I are parents of twin boys, Tyler and Brady.

At Eagle Nest Elementary, the mission of the Physical Education/Health and Wellness program is to teach students the movement, academic and social skills appropriate to their ability and confidence levels in a variety of movement situations that will promote developing and maintaining a healthy active lifestyle.
