Mini Biography
I retired from my teaching position/department chair at Rossford High School, Rossford, Ohio at the end of the 2021-2022 school year with 39 years of experience. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I served as the Social Studies Department Chairman 1996-2022. I also served as the High School Athletic Director from 2004 through 2011, head baseball coach 1993-2002, Junior Varsity Baseball coach 1989-1993, and assistant basketball coach 1986-1997, 1999-2004, and 2017-18.
I am a graduate of Bryan High School ('79) and Ohio University ('83). I have done additional coursework at the University of San Diego, Point Loma Nazarene University, University of Findlay, Bowling Green State University, Heidelberg College, and Florida State University. Prior to teaching at Rossford High School, I taught and coached at Blakeslee St. Joseph's in Blakeslee, Ohio (1983-85) and Holy Trinity in Assumption, Ohio (1985-86).
