About The Teacher
I grew up in White Sulphur Springs and graduated from Liberty High School in 1976. I attended SUNY Cobleskill, and graduated with an A.A.S. Degree in Recreation and Park Management in 1978. After graduating I was employed as the Director of Parks and Recreation for the Town of Liberty, as well as a Police Officer for the NYC Department of Environmental Protection. I continued my education at SUNY New Paltz, earning my Bachelor's Degree in 1991 in Elementary Education. In 1998 I earned my Master's Degree in Instructional Technology (Computers in Education) from the New York Institute of Technology (N.Y.I.T.). I have previously taught 1st and 3rd Grades in the Liberty Elementary School, and am now teaching 5th Grade in the Liberty Middle School. I reside in White Sulphur Springs, am married 25 years, and have two daughters, Nicole and Katelyn. Nicole has worked in the theatre industry in NYC for a few years, currently lives in Tennessee, and is completing her education in Theatre at Middle Tennessee State University. Katelyn attends SUNY Oneonta in Oneonta, N.Y. majoring in Math Education. Mrs. Sostak is a Math teacher at the Liberty High School. I have coached boy's football and baseball, and girl's softball and soccer while at Liberty, as well as assisted with the Nordic ski team. Outside of school I am active in the Liberty Free Methodist Church. I enjoy all types of outdoor sports, including hunting, fishing, cross- country skiing, and hiking. Past interests include 15 years of training in and teaching the Martial Arts, earning my 2nd Degree Black Belt in the Zen Do Kai Martial Arts Association. I am an avid bicycle rider, and enjoy my time riding through the scenic highways and biways of Sullivan County and beyond.
