I'm originally from New York where I grew up, attended high school, and went to College.  I attended the State University of Albany from 1990 - 1995.  I majored in Business and Math, and played basketball during my 5 years as a Great Dane.  I moved to Arizona during the summer of 1995 and I've been here ever since.  This is my 24th year as a high school math teacher.  I was at Desert Mountain high school in Scottsdale for 7 years and this is my 17th year at Mountain Ridge.  My wife Danielle is a school psychologist in the Deer Valley Unified School District and I have three wonderful children.  Madison is 18 years old and is a Freshman at Fresno Pacific University where she is playing volleyball and studying Pre-Health Sciences. Braedon is 17 years old in 12th grade and Ethan is 13 years old in 8th grade.
