Let me tell you a little about myself.  This will be my 43rd year in education.  I have taught in a number of schools across Ohio. I am orginally from Northeast Ohio and graduated from Bowling Green State University with a degree in Communications Education.  I taught high school and middle school Language Arts.  Shortly within my career, I obtained my elementary liscense.  I taught 5th and 6th grades for a number of years.  I then attended Wright State University and completed my Masters in Special Education as an Intervention Specialist.  During that time I was teaching at National Trail until 2013.  I was offered a job at the Ohio Department of Education as a Content Specialist and reitred from there in 2015.  I returned to National Trail and taught 7th grade for one year.  In 2016, I became a Title Coach here at Tri-Village Elementary.  I then stepped into my current position as an Intervention Specialist where I am working with students mainly in Reading and Math.  I am very excited for the changes that are happening this year.  I feel that all students will be benefiting from these changes. 

 

I live with my wife, Barb, whom I have been married to for 42 years. I have 3 children, Anya, Alyssa, and Andrew, who all have taught during their careers.  My daughter, Anya, teaches 6th grade science and social studies here at Tri-Village.   I also have 3 grandsons and 2 granddaughters.  We live outside of Eaton on a farm where we raise beef cattle and chickens.
