About: I teach 10th-grade English (English II) and 12th-grade English (English IV). I have been teaching for 2 years. I also did my student teaching at West Haven High School during the 2019-2020 school year. I have been teaching at WHHS for two years. 

Hobbies: Outside of teaching, almost all my hobbies take place outdoors. I enjoy exercise, yardwork, kayaking, hiking (locally and nationally), camping/backpacking, and—to no surprise—reading/writing. 

Fun Facts: My wife and I are high school sweethearts; I have never eaten a burger from a fast food restaurant; There is a strong chance that I could succeed as a professional organizer.
