Education is my passion, and I can think of no higher calling than helping young people learn and grow into productive, intelligent adults. I understand that honesty, kindness, clear goals, and a belief in the abilities of all students are at the center of effective teaching and learning. I strive to pass on my love of literature, history and athletics, and I live for those moments when what we're doing in the classroom, lacrosse field or golf course "clicks" for a student or athlete.
