Hello, everyone! It has been a long journey, but here I am getting ready to start my 15th year in the Fremont City Schools District and my 14th year specifically as an ELA teacher here at Fremont Middle School.
Here is the short version; I grew up locally, and graduated from SJCC in Fremont. I spent a few years in the military, primarily stationed in Vicenza, Italy with the 173rd Airborne Brigade (part of the Southern European Task Force). Upon my return to the U.S., I worked a few odd jobs while earning my Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Toledo, specializing in both English Literature, Creative Writing, and Education. Upon graduating, I found my home here in the FCSD. I am married with two kids (Emily/19, Nick/22), and a very demanding dog.
