Personal Background:

I am a graduate of Bradford High School (Miami County) and currently live in Piqua, Ohio.  I enjoyed being a scholar-athlete during my high school years, but have since dedicated my time to the teaching profession as my passion.  I feel fortunate to be a part of the Bethel Local School district for over a decade where there is a true partnership with the community in educating our students.  I look forward to arriving to school each day with a dedicated staff and the best kids anywhere around!  In my time away from Bethel, I enjoy reading, attending sporting events, going to the movies, great conversation, and taking long drives in my convertible to unwind after a long day.
