I am happily married to my wife, Jodi, and we have two daughters Carlie (18) who attends Mount Union University, and Kaylie (17) who attends Canfield High School. I graduated from the University of Toledo with a Bachelor's in Education and completed my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Ashland University. Currently I am in my twenty-fourth year of teaching 5th grade here at Canfield Village Middle School. I also have enjoyed coaching a variety of sports at Canfield and currently coach the 8th grade girls basketball team.
