I am from Findlay, Ohio and graduated from Findlay High School in 1984. I attended and graduated from Ohio University in Athens in 1989 with a degree in Video Production / Broadcasting.  Upon graduation I began my broadcasting career at Cable News Network (CNN) in Atlanta, Georgia a position I held for two years until  joining the former Continental Cablevision in Findlay, Fostoria, and Tiffin as the Local Programming Manager in charge of local productions. 

 

After four years at Continental Cablevision and gaining much knowledge in PC Computing I worked for several companies in the Findlay area including The Courier Newspaper, Blanchard Valley Hospital, and for Findlay City Schools as an independent contractor.  It was at Findlay City Schools that I realized that education is where me heart was and I began work on a Master's Degree in Education from The University of Findlay in 1999.  I received my Master's in Education  with an Elementary 1-8 certification in May of 2000 which was at the conclusion of my first year at Upper Scioto Valley.  After my 2nd year at New Riegel I earned a K-12 Technology Endorsement from Bluffton University in 2006.

 

I am married to Cathy, a dedicated 3rd Grade Teacher at Cory-Rawson, the district in which we live and raise our two children, Jonathan age 11, and Caitlin age 4.  Maggie, our Golden Retriever, is also an important part of our family.

 

I enjoy working with people, especially children, and I will continue to strive to make Educational Technology at New Riegel second to none.
