I moved to Englewood just before Hurricane Ian after having taught United States History, World History and World Cultural Geography for 24 years at Cypress Creek High School in Orlando. I have coached baseball at 4 different schools, the last and most successful one being Harmony High in St. Cloud. I've also coached softball, lacrosse, cross country and track. Since I grew up in New York I am a die hard Yankees and Rangers fan. 

I challenge my students to live by the words of inventor Thomas Edison, who said so poignantly, there is no substitute for hard work.
