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 23rd year as a high school math teacher.  I was at Desert Mountain high school in Scottsdale for 7 years and this is my 16th 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 17 years old in 12th grade, Braedon is 16 years old in 11th grade, and Ethan is 12 years old in 7th grade.
