I am the son of a Presbyterian minister and grew up mainly in western Pennsylvania,
eastern Ohio, & in the panhandle of West Virginia area always within an hour of my
favorite city of Pittsburgh PA. My father died when I was 12 & my mother and I
relocated to Louisville KY.
In Louisville, I attended a small Catholic high school called DeSales. I graduated
from DeSales in 1995 & I began at a small Catholic university in Louisville called
Bellarmine. It was a good school, but I needed to get away from home and transferred
to Western Kentucky University after 1 semester. I loved my time at WKU!!! My Junior
year at WKU, I spent a summer in England & Scotland studying the history of the royal
family. I graduated WKU in 2000 with a degree in Social Studies & minor in Political
Science.
After WKU, I moved back to Louisville & began working on my Masters in Secondary
Education from Spalding University (another small Catholic college in Louisville) In
2001 I married my wife Deanna & I finished my Masters degree in 2002. I started
teaching at my old high school of DeSales. While there I coached Freshman baseball. In
2003 we decided to move to Richmond, VA
In 2003, we bought a home in Midlothian & were both hired to teach in Henrico county.
After 1 year in Henrico, I was hired by Chesterfield County and came to Matoaca High
School for the 2004-2005 school year. Our first son Nathan was born that year too, in
April 2005. My wife Deanna was hired by Matoaca High school for the 2005-2006 school
year and teaches English. July 2007 our daughter "Emily" was born. January 2009 our
second son Wesley arrived.
