I am an associate principal at Maine-Endwell High School. Before joining Maine-Endwell, I taught at the elementary and middle school levels and spent six years as a middle school principal in Virginia. Moving back to NY in the summer of 2023, being closer to extended family, and working at M-E has been the perfect trifecta.
In my role at Maine-Endwell, my approach is to be present and visible as much as possible for our students, staff, and families. Through listening and collaborating, I find that we do our best work. I have really enjoyed attending sporting events, musical performances, fine art shows, and more this past year. Our students are incredibly talented, and I believe the M-E coaches, teachers, and staff provide students with various opportunities to showcase their talents.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Beth, and daughter, Lincoln. Together, we engage in various outdoor activities and family adventures, which provide a fulfilling balance to the professional life. I am a passionate fan of the New York Giants and Syracuse Orange.
