I am a 1990 graduate of St. Paul's High School. I then went on to
attend Bowling Green State University. After 5 years at the University, I
received an undergraduate degree in History and Political Science.
During my later college years and after graduation from college, I
worked for the Democratic Party in many different capacities. I then became
disillusioned with politics and moved on to various retail jobs. After 5
years in retail I decided to pursue a career in teaching. I received my
teacher certification from Xavier University.
In 2000 I was offered my current position of Junior High Social
Studies Teacher. I started coaching Junior High Boys Basketball in 2001 and
also became Assistant Junior High Athletic Director that year. In 2006 I
move to the high school to teach various classes.
I am privileged to be able to come back here and teach. My wife and
I are settled down and now have a youn child, Jefferson Paul (JP). I have
lived in Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati and have found that Norwalk is
the best place to raise a family. I have also found that after teaching in
various schools that we, as a community, are very fortunate to have the
school that we have here at St. Paul’s.
I am committed to teaching students to become civic minded Catholics
that will serve our community and our nation. It is important to teach
everyone, not just students, the value of our community, the value of our
democracy and the value of our faith. That there have been many people
before us that have made many sacrifices to give us what we have today and
that we have been truly blessed.
To give students the abiliy to look at learning as not a job, but as a life
long pursuit. To be in happy in life, one has to love what they are doing.
Since we are always learning, a love of learning is essential to a happy
life.
