Fun Fact: I have two more ribs (26) than the average person.  

When I’m not at SJR you’ll find me... either at a hockey rink or in my backyard.  

Ask me about... my wife, Mariann, and my two children, Steven and Katherine.

I like to work at SJR because... it is a dream come true.  I loved my four years here, and have always wanted to return.  I am fortunate to play a small role in ensuring others have a similar experience to my own, and am inspired daily by the optimism and hard work of the students, faculty and staff.
