PERSONAL PROFILE
In 2011, I relocated to North Carolina from upstate New York to fulfill my lifelong dream of being an art teacher. For the last three years, I have worked at Barwell Road Elementary School in South East Raleigh. This will be my first year in Middle School, and I am really excited to work with the students of Holly Grove!
Prior to moving to North Carolina, I enlisted in the United States NAVY to earn money for college and serve my country. I spent four years travelling the world and experiencing amazing things. After my enlistment, I spent the remainder of my twenties studying at the University at Albany and Plattsburgh State University.
I currently live in Apex with my wife Jess, my son Ashton (who is in the sixth grade), and my dog Mango.  In my free time I enjoy working in my art studio, watching sports, spending time with my family, and learning new things.
