Teacher & College Professor
My parents provided me with the greatest opportunities and enabled me to learn from them. Along that path in life it was a series of very special teachers and coaches who changed my life in the most positive and influential ways. It was great teachers who showed me how to take what my parents provided me with in character and values and what life threw at me in adversity, joy, and experience and learn to be a better athlete, student, and person. The power of teaching is magical when you see the positive influence it can have on others. To empower and enable others is a remarkable gift and I consider myself extremely fortunate to be in a position to teach others.

Consulting Executive Director
The Education Foundation of Niagara
I recognize that I cannot effectively contribute to every worthy cause that is meaningful to me or to my community. However, as a father and educator, I understand how access to education provides the best tools for our youth to be better prepared for their future. Our own success as a society is predicated on our youth being able to start where our current and past generations have gotten us and take us to a better place. The Education Foundation of Niagara works to remove barriers from education such that every child has the chance to contribute and make a real difference in our world. (Term 2022 – 2025)
