Previous work experience: I spent the last 15 years as a high school counselor at De La Salle Collegiate in Warren, MI. Prior to that I worked in the Utica Community School District.
Hobbies/What do you do in your spare time: I love to take our travel trailer out and go camping with my wife and son and our two French Bulldogs Max & Remy. If I'm not camping, you'll find me fishing or golfing. I love football and during the fall months I run and participate in several fantasy football leagues.
What do you like about working at Anchor Bay: I love the sense of community. You feel that as soon as you're in the school buildings. Teachers and other staff attend the football games, work the concessions stand, and really get involved beyond the classroom. It's a great feeling and I am happy to be a part of it.
Positive event/experience that has happened in your first month here: I have been welcomed with open arms by everyone I've met throughout the district. I am blessed to work in a great building with wonderful and supportive administrators, teachers, and support staff. It's a great feeling to jump into a new school and feel the positive energy. I couldn't have asked for a better start to a school year.
Additional Comments: I am a longtime resident of New Baltimore, and my son has attended AB Schools since he was at the Early Childhood Center. Our family believes in the district, and it's where I hope to end my career.
