I am a Milan native and attended Milan Area Schools, graduating in 1992.  I have a BS in Microbiology and Biochemistry from Eastern Michigan University and a MS from University of Michigan in Cellular and Molecular Biology.  I am entering my 18th year teaching at Milan, and teaching is a second career for me, after spending 8 years doing science research. My wife Michelle and I live north of Milan.  We have three children who all attend or did attend Milan Area Schools.  Zachary (19), Virginia (17) and Stella (15).

I will be teaching General Freshmen Biology, as well as AP Biology and Chmesirty. This marks the 17th year I have taught Freshmen Biology classes.  I have also taught Anatomy and Physiology.  I love to read and learn about just about anything.  My goal is for students to learn how to think.

2024-2025 marks the 21st season for me as the Head Varsity Swimming and Diving Coach in Milan, and I also serve as Director of the Milan Swim Club.
