Graduate of Titusville High School in Titusville Pennsylvania in 1988. Graduated from California University of Pennsylvania with a BS in Technology Education. Taught in the Tuscarora School District, at James Buchanan High School in Mercersburg, PA from August 1993 to June of 1999. Courses taught include Graphic Arts, Technical Drawing and Computer Aided Drafting. After a brief transition at Baldwin-Whitehall School District and Sto-Rocks School District, I began, and continue, teaching at the Seneca Valley School District. For the first 10 years in the district I taught mostly Graphic Arts, but also Construction Systems, Power-Transportation Systems, Wood Fabrication, Metal Fabrication, and Manufacturing Systems in the 9-10 grade building. Since then I've moved to the 11-12 grade building and have taught Creative Wood, Residential Electricity, and Engineering Design Process. Throughout all that time I've become very proficient in many software, including but not limited to, MasterCAM, Autodesk Inventor and Fusion360, Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, and Microsoft Office Suite. I'm most comfortable designing and cutting using the CNC and woodworking.
