Biography
I have worked at Corvallis Middle School since 1995 as Principal (2007-present), Assistant Principal (2006-07), and science teacher (1995-2006).
I grew up outside of Philadelphia, PA and worked as a a civil engineer and field crew leader for two firms in Virginia and Pennsylvania before moving to Montana in 1990 to begin a career in education.
I have been happily married to my wife, Carolyn, since 1988. We enjoy living in the Bitterroot Valley and love to hike, whitewater canoe, and ski in our free time. I am an avid supporter of the middle school philosophy and strongly believe that when teachers, parents, and community members work together we can help all students succeed.
