I am excited to begin my 32nd year teaching, my 16th in Loudoun County.  During my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to teach at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. This is my 16th year at Harmony middle. I have also coached football, basketball (boys and girls) tennis and cross county during my teaching career.  I love collecting Sports memorabilia and am a huge Washington Nationals fan. My wife Claudia and I live in Winchester VA with my 20 year old daughter Sophia, who will be a Sophomore at Shenandoah University. I love Harmony and working with the students here. 

I have a bachelors degree in Physical Education and minor in Special Education. I garnished my teacher certification at University of Virginia in special education.   This year, I will be co-teaching Science in 6th grade with Mr. Whetsel and Mr. Clegg. I will also be co-teaching with Mrs. Chapple in History classes along with teaching 6th grade resource classes.

Please understand that during the school day, I am actively working with students and may not be able to respond immediately.   However, I will respond within 36 hours to emails.  If you have a time-sensitive message, please call Harmony at (540) 751-2500. The secretaries will make sure that I get the message
