I grew up in the Wappingers Central School District, graduating from Roy C. Ketcham in 1997.  I played football and wrestled, and was fortunate to take advantage of many district opportunities, such as AP and honors classes.

I received my bachelors of science in biology from St. Thomas Aquinas College in Rockland and my masters of science in physical therapy from New York Medical College in Westchester.  Since graduating, I have taken many continuing education courses, and even accomplished my certification in lymphedema therapy.  I have worked for the district since the start of the 2007-2008 school year, and have coached some football and wrestling during that time. Currently, I am the head wrestling coach at Arlington High School.

I am married to another pediatric physical therapist, and we have 2 school-aged children, a dog, and a bunch of fish (I have a 125 gallon saltwater tank).  When not doing home improvement projects, coaching wrestling, or shuttling the kids around, I love watching the Mets and the Giants.

I truly love what I do for a living, and consider myself lucky to be able to give back to the community I was raised in.
