A graduate of Illinois State University with a bachelor's degree in mathematics education, I began teaching in 1993.  After three years in District 365U, I spent two years teaching math at Oswego High School.  Since then I have earned a master's degree from Lewis University and a doctorate degree from Trinity College.  I am excited to be back in Oswego, a community in which my wife Kathy and I have chosen to raise our four children.  I currently teach Algebra 1 and Algebra 1 A/B.
