Both of my parents taught in Hillsborough County public schools for many
years. I tried to fight my destiny by earning non-educational majors and
minors at the University of Florida, and I actually worked in the
corporate world for a while.
However, the classroom kept calling, and I eventually gave in. I left my
office job to work on an education degree at USF, taking classes while gaining
invaluable experience as a substitute teacher all over the county.
I'm very glad I did. The 2011-12 school year is my ninth year in the
classroom, my eighth teaching 5th grade, and my fourth on the staff at
Macfarlane Park IB, which is most definitely the "World's Best World School"
and the place I want to be.

On the home front, I have a great family with a lovely wife and two wonderful
daughters. In my abundant (ha!) free time, I enjoy listening to and playing
music, writing and reading good books, watching football (Go Gators!) and
baseball (Go Rays!), discovering local history, and road-tripping when
possible.
