When not in the classroom, he enjoys boxing, hiking, reading, and hockey (LET'S GO PENS!). Known to those who he has taught, he is also a huge shark enthusiast.

    He is a proud graduate of the NCATE accredited, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania where he received a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education - Biology and a Master’s Degree in Online Instruction.
