I was Class Vice President and belonged to several clubs and lettered in 3 sports in high school. Also was captain of the basketball team and coached youth basketball for six seasons. Spent two-and a-half years as an education major at SCSU in New Haven, then obtained a degree in Environmental Resource Management from Penn State. I have taught everything from swimming to hazardous materials discharge remediation and currently teach religious education. Am a father, step-father and foster-father and look forward to helping young people with learning difficulties.
