Hi. I am a paraprofessional this year at Leeds Public School. I have been living and working North Dakota since 2015. My wife, Julie is the English teacher here at Leeds, and my daughter Amanda is a paraprofessional here as well. I am a fully certified North Dakota educator with ten years experience working with kids of all ages. I have an associates degree from Eastern Florida State University, a Bachelor's Degree from Southern New Hampshire University and I am currently working on my Master's in Educational Leadership.
I was born and raised in Maryland, spent four years in the Navy working intelligence collection on and off submarines, mainly in the Mediterranean Sea. After that, I spent about 18 years working in both animal control in Florida and with animals in the zoo and in the National Institutes of Health near Washington D.C.
My passions are writing and football, mainly, though I enjoy history, art and comedy in equal measure.
