After working in various corporate/manufacturing management positions for over 20 years,  I turned to teaching for an even more meaningful and gratifying second career and haven't looked back. It is an endeavor that only gets better each and every year as I continue my journey in becoming the best educator I can be in guiding and supporting my students in their academic and life pursuits. 

    I am a Connecticut native, but have come to appreciate all that State College has to offer, including the commitment of the community to high quality education. I am definitely a curious, lifelong learner who loves the arts, cooking, reading, playing guitar, playing basketball (and just about any other sport), and I will certainly take on any challenger in a game of chess.  Looking forward, yet again, to a fun and enlightening year!
