Teaching Experience:
This is my eleventh year of teaching at Bishop England. Before coming to
Bishop England I also taught at Garrett Academy and Arnold High School in
Wiesbaden, Germany.
I have coached track and cross country for the past ten years and I have been
the head track and cross country coach since 2001. I am Region 6 AA cross
country director, mostly because no else wanted the position and I am also
the Vice President for the AA Track and Cross Country Association.
I am the disciplinarian for the junior class. I am also the official "clock
guy" for the basketball programs.
I make two trips about every summer.
The first is to the British Virgin Islands where I take a group of BE kids to
the Caribbean to teach them how to sail and live aboard a 50 foot sailboat.
My second trip is to the mountains of South Carolina with the cross country
team. Where we enjoy cooler days, even cooler streams, and running in the
mountains.
