Bio: I Grew up in Chester, and attended Green Mountain for six years. After GM, I attended Becker College for two years, and then on to Keene State College. Graduated from KSC in the spring of 94 where I received my teaching certificate in Physical Education. I started my teaching career here at GM in the fall of 94, and I've been teaching Physical Education here since. I've also had the opportunity to play the role of athletic director for three years, and coach a variety of different athletic teams here at GM. I try to be the best role model I can be. I think by doing this, I can help the students to start forming healthy lifestyles. Hopefully by
starting healthy lifestyles now, they will continue them into the future.
