I have taught in the VR English department since 2007. I received a Bachelor's Degree from Johnson University in 2005 and a Master's Degree in Secondary English from Liberty University in 2010. In 2023, I completed National STEM certification. I'm also the sponsor for the Writer's Guild organization, which publishes a bi-monthly digital literary magazine.

My wife, Emily, is the Instructional Coach at Temple Middle School, and our daughter, Abby Kate, is an Ithica Titan!
