About Me: 

I moved to Schenectady, New York for my undergrad work. After graduating from Union College with a BA in English I moved back down state and took a job as a paralegal in the City. I knew pretty early on that job wasn't for me. Luckily enough, my roommate and I saw an ad during halftime of a Jets game for the NYC teaching fellows. Both of us decided to give it a go. Best decision I ever made.

​

I taught high school English at DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx while working towards my MA in Education from Manhattanville College. Once I got my degree my wife and I moved down to Washington, D.C. where I found work teaching in Montgomery County, Maryland. 

​

Since 2010 I've been teaching Literature and Journalism at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland. I've also been fortunate to serve as staff adviser for Blair's incredible Silver Chips student journalists.

​

I'm the recipient of the UMBC 2017 Humanities Scholars Exemplary Teacher Award and the 2022 Columbia Scholastic Press Association Special Recognition Journalism Adviser Award.
