A little about me...
I grew up in the small town of Girard, PA on Lake Erie, but I moved to Naples, Florida when I was twelve. I earned my B.A. & M.Ed. in Elementary Education and a minor in music from the University of Florida. Go Gators! I have been teaching first grade in Indiana, PA since 2007 first at Horace Mann, and now at East Pike.
I married my best friend, Kelli, in 2009. She teaches Life Skills Support at Indiana Junior High School. We have seven wonderful children. We adopted our 19 year old daughter Alyvia, Janie is 13, Annie is 11, Catie is 8, Maggie is 4, and we are fostering two kids: a 7 year old girl and a 1 year old boy.
I enjoy worshipping and serving at church, singing, playing handbells & piano, reading, traveling, taking care of our many pets, and spending time with my family & friends. My true passion, though, is teaching!
