I joined Seton Hill for the Spring 2019 Semester and have continued to enjoy my time with the students. Prior to Seton Hill, I served in the US Navy, was a classroom teacher, math coach and a principal. I worked in several schools prior to my retirement spending the majority of my time in Derry Area and Hempfield Area School Districts. Education is my passion and I have enjoyed every phase I have experienced so far in my career. My personal mantra is adapted from a quote from Urie Bronfenbrenner: "Every child deserves to have someone crazy about them, BE THAT PERSON!"
