I am from Jupiter, Florida, just north of West Palm Beach. I received a BA in history from Catholic University in Washington, DC with a concentration in American History, as well as an MA in history, with a concentration in military history, from George Mason University in Virginia. I have spent time in construction project management, curriculum development, and community building and consulting. Two years ago I finished my MBA at American University, and I am excited to teach the business class this year. I currently work on the side helping friends and family build their small businesses. In addition, I help run a career program for students who want to explore different professions by connecting them with people who are currently working those jobs. I spent seven years coaching football, wrestling, and lacrosse as both assistant and head coach. I live in Rockland with my wife, two kids, and dog.
