About Me
I am proud to be a teacher, husband, father, younger brother, nephew, cousin, uncle, and son. In 2004, I moved from Buffalo, N.Y. to Alexandria, Virginia to become a full time teacher. Teaching has allowed me to share my passion of history and educational technology with then next generation of Americans. Since 2004, I have gotten to know the DMV very well and have taken up residence in Del Ray (Alexandria), Rosslyn (Arlington), and Penderbrook (Fair Oaks). I currently reside in Oakton (Fairfax) and plan to be there for the next several years.

I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. Growing up, I was a talented pitcher (baseball) and outside midfielder (soccer). My favorite sports teams are the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, Washington Nationals, Real Madrid, and Michigan State Spartans.

I am very fortunate to have the time and resources to travel with my family. Each year we visit Sarasota, Florida and Bogota, Colombia. I will always treasure visiting the beach with my family in Florida and experiencing the culture and people of Colombia.
