About Me
This is my 22nd year as the technology teacher at Beltsville Elementary School. I work in our computer lab of iMacs, the 4th generation of computers (all Apples) in the lab during my time at Beltsville. I’m also our school’s test coordinator, so I’m always challenged to give adequate attention to both areas and keep up-to-date with everything.

I am married to a high school physics teacher and have two married sons, with our first grandchild due in late March. Between a wonderful family and a job with a fantastic administration and staff, I am a happy person. But there's never a dull moment!
