I am entering my 10th year working for Erie's Public Schools PB and my 16th year of teaching altogether. I absolutely love what I do and can’t wait to teach and learn from each one of your young scholars. This is my first year teaching at JoAnna Connell, and before that I spent nine years at Pfeiffer-Burleigh. Before moving to Erie, I was a teacher in North Carolina. In the summer of 2016, my wife and I moved to be closer to family. Now…it is only an 8-hour drive to visit my parents on Long Island. When I am not teaching, I am in the woods enjoying nature or hanging out with my wife and little girl.
