I was born in Bay City and moved near Lansing when I was in the fifth grade.  I graduated from Dansville High School before attending and graduating from Central Michigan University.  Prior to graduating I student taught in Breckenridge.  My first teaching job was in St. Louis, Michigan where I taught 8th grade science for one year.

I have been teaching at Fulton High School since the fall of 1999.  In the past I taught earth science and physics, but currently teach physical science and chemistry in addition to being our online mentor.  I also coach quiz bowl and science olympiad.

I am married and have two wonderful daughters.  When I am not in school, I enjoy fishing.
