Family is very important to me.  My wife, Maria, and I are going on 15 years of marriage and have three wonderful children, Mark (14), Gina (11), and JJ (18 months). I spend most of my free time pursuing my doctorate, attending my children's events, and participating in triathlons. I believe in the importance of building relationships between the school and home.  Student success is greatly impacted by a positive relationship between both.  I am excited to partner with you to create lifelong learners.
