Welcome to Room D229!  I graduated from Fillmore in 2012, and consider myself lucky to be home, teaching in a district that did so much for me growing up.  During my time here I was a member of the soccer, wrestling, and baseball teams and participated in band, choir, and the musicals.  With this in mind, I value the many endeavors you all work hard to be successful in.  I am confident that Fillmore is crafting you to be well-rounded individuals.

After graduating from Fillmore, I went on to SUNY Geneseo where I majored in Physics and minored in Math, graduating in December of 2016.  I substitute taught at Wellsville and Fillmore before starting fulltime at Fillmore in the fall of 2017.  In May of 2019, I graduated from Geneseo for a second time with my Master’s Degree in Reading and Literacy.  The college Physics degree challenged me at every turn.  However, traits honed at FCS such as work ethic, communication, and persistence led to my graduation with a Bachelor’s Degree in Physics with Certifications to teach Physics, General Science, and Math.  I share my challenges with you to parallel some of the challenges you may face as you tackle my classes.

On a more personal note, I live in Centerville with my wife, Lindsey, and our son, Harrison.  Born in July of 2021, he has kept us busy as we learn to become parents.  When I am not teaching, coaching soccer and wrestling, or helping out on my family’s dairy farm in Centerville, I do my best to spend time with the ones I love.  It is their sacrifices that have made me the person that I am today.
