I have been working in education for over twenty years, and while many things have changed over that time, my belief that students must feel appreciated and cared about before they will appreciate and care about learning, has not. I have taught a variety of ages, from middle school to college, with ten of those years spent as a middle school and high school administrator in Vermont and New Hampshire.

However, recently I was very happy to return to the classroom and teach and learn with middle school students again. I love their energy and enthusiasm. Middle school has been my passion for most of my career, and I have served on a variety of state and regional boards. I continue to be involved in a variety of middle school organizations, including presenting at conferences, and being the President of New Hampshire’s Association for Middle Level Education.

My interests and hobbies have changed much over the years, and while golf, guitar, skiing, biking (motorized and with pedals), and camping still remain close to my heart, most of my free time is spent playing with my 6 year old son, Tiernan, and my 8 year old daughter, Olivia. My family is rounded out by my wife Colleen (also a middle school teacher) and my dog Cabot.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Take care.
