I live in Brandon with my wife Meghan and two dogs, Lily and Brody.  I am a licensed physical education and health education teacher in my fourth year of teaching at Middlebury Union Middle School.  I enjoy playing any competitive game, anything from catch phrase to golf.  I also enjoy building and remodeling, so during the summer I work for my father’s carpentry business. Some of my accomplishments include the 2010-2011 Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year at Castleton University and the 2012 Vermont physical and health education Outstanding Future Professional.  My latest accomplishment was being accepted into the masters degree program at the United States Sports Academy in 2014. I hope to complete my masters degree program by 2017.  I am looking forward to applying the knowledge and skills learned through this masters program.
