I was born and raised in Mayfield Village, Ohio, a small suburb on the east side of Cleveland. After graduating from Mayfield High School, I attended Bowling Green State University where I earned a bachelor's degree in Mathematics Education. Later, I earned a master's degree in Education with a concentration in Administration/Supervision from John Carroll University.

This will be my 28th year of full time teaching, and my 2nd full year at Madison.  I'm looking forward to another year of working with great kids.
