I am a Technology teacher at Amherst Middle School. I grew up in Snyder, and I graduated from Amherst Central back when dinosaurs still roamed the area. I have two older brothers and a younger sister. I married another Amherst graduate and have two children, a boy and a girl and a cute dog. Our family enjoys sports: basketball, soccer, golf, tennis and hiking just to name a few. My education is as follows: I have a two year degree in Automotive Technology from E.C.C., I have a B.S. degree from D'Youville College, and a B.S. and M.S. in Technology Education from Buffalo State College. I lived in metro New York City for five years when I first came out of college. I then started my own business back in Buffalo and ran it for 10 years before going into teaching.
