About The Teacher
This is my fourth year as the 6th grade house principal and I truly enjoy working with you and your child(ren). Communication is essential to our success, so please do not hesitate to call or email with any questions/concerns. My Family: Family is very important to me. I have a loving and understanding wife, Carrie, and we have one child, Carter, who is 19 months old already! We also have two dogs, Morgan, who is a boxer and Daisy, who is a cocker spaniel - quite the ODD couple! My Administrative Experience: Prior to my time here at Van Wyck, I worked as an assistant principal in both the Poughkeepsie Middle School and Wallkill Senior High School. Overall, this is my sixth year as a school administrator. Teaching Experience: Like most college graduates, I began my career as a per diem substitute until I was fortunate enough to receive a full time teaching position. That position was at the Poughkeepsie Middle School, teaching Life Science. I also coached football, baseball and basketball. Athletics played a huge role in my life growing up and I feel they (or any extra curricular activity) play an integral role in the development of our youth. Plus they provide many children a much needed outlet. My Education: Administrative Certification School District Administrator Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts - Leadership Academy Graduate Degree Master of Arts in Educational Psychology Marist College Undergraduate Degree Bachelor of Science with a concentration in secondary education Marist College My Life: I consider myself somewhat of a local person. I grew up in Washingtonville, NY and went to Marist College for both my Undergraduate and Graduate degrees. While at Marist I played football in addition to earning my degree. It was a great experience that prepared me for the position I hold today. I look forward to staying in the area and continuing my work with the students who attend Van Wyck.
