I currently teach 8th Grade math at Tyrone Area Middle School in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. This is my 14th year of teaching. Throughout my career, I have taught anywhere from pre-algebra up through dual-enrollment Calculus. I am married and have 3 stepsons. We enjoy doing anything outside, including spending time on our boat on the lake. We also love camping, hiking, and kayaking – especially with our dog Bear and our newest puppy Grizzly.
