Summary I was born in Saranac Lake, New York in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. There I
developed a love for recreation and for teaching. I played baseball, football, hockey, and
basketball competitively while also beginning my coaching/teaching career in the Little
League Minors program.
I moved to Wappingers Falls in 2003 after completing my Bachelor's Degree and began
teaching and coaching at Van Wyck Junior High School that fall.
I have been an active member of the Wappingers Congress of Teachers as well as the local
community working Community Day each year since my arrival.
Since taking over the Baseball program, the Griffins have won 46 games and lost 8. More
importantly, however, each young player was instilled with a sense of fair play, respect for
the game, and trust in others.
I believe that I am a strong leader and plan to enter into a Master Degree Program for
Educational Administration in the next five years. I believe that one must have respectable
experience prior to moving into an administrative position.
