| Mr.

After graduating from high school, I
was sure that I wanted to be in broadcasting. During my high
school years, I worked with the local cable system, dealing with all
aspects of television production including directing, audio, camera
operation, and production planning. After a few semesters at
Macomb Community College (where I was working on my basic college
courses), I decided that television broadcasting jobs would not help
me meet my life goals. Before I knew it, I was taking Calculus
and helping run the mathematics tutoring program at the
college. After three years of preliminary coursework, I
transferred to Wayne State University to finish my requirements for
becoming a teacher.
In 1999, I graduated from Wayne State
with BS in Secondary Education. My major is mathematics
and I received a minor in computer science. The summer I
finished school, I interviewed and was hired by L'Anse Creuse High
School. My goal was to be a high school math and computer
teacher, but I ended up with much more. Opportunity knocked
when I was offered the best of both worlds - mathematics and
technology!
Since that time, I have enjoyed my days
in the Modular
Technology Lab, where I teach both my technology and math
courses. All I can say is....I LOVE IT!
In my "spare" time, I enjoy officiating
high school football and volleyball. I spent a few years
climbing up the college volleyball ranks as a referee, but the fall
schedules were becoming unbearable. I continue to enjoy the
high school game and am entering my twelfth season in each sport as
of 2003-04. Satisfying my love for the broadcast arts, I
handle the public address announcing at home girls and boys
basketball games.
In 2002, I married the love of my life,
Michelle. She is a middle school science and social studies
teacher at Richards Middle School in Fraser. We enjoy our two
cats, Priscilla and Abbey. Our summers are spent traveling in
our camper and relaxing at the family cottage near Copper Harbor,
MI.
I am currently working on my master's
degree in Educational Leadership at Saginaw Valley State
University. |
