These web pages began as part of my Technology
II course at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute. From June 1997 through August 1999
I attended graduate studies at RPI in their Master's of Science
in the Natural Sciences for HS Teachers of Math and Science degree
program, part of their Center for Initiatives in Pre-College
Education. This program at RPI brings together Math and Science teachers to explore
new ways to teach in our disciplines. I really enjoyed the experience
at RPI, and hopefully I have grown as a teacher and a person
because of this opportunity.
Back in the "real world" I teach Mathematics
at South
Hadley High School in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Prior
to joining the team at SHHS in 2005, I taught for 20 years at
the High School of Commerce in Springfield, MA. My years with the Springfield
Public Schools were generally positive, and I leave behind many
good friends and colleagues. It is still my opinion that the
HS of Commerce is the best choice for a HS in Springfield, due
largely to its International Baccalaureate program.
If you wish to contact
me, I can be reached at South
Hadley High School. Our mailing address
is:

I thank you for visiting my web pages.
If you are interested, I have written a short
"personal bio" statement which can be accessed by the
following link: Personal Biography
Page. There you can find information on my educational background
and teaching experience, the reason for my choice of mathematics
teaching as a career, and some of my general interests outside
of teaching.
