I grew up in Glen Ellyn and went to Glenbard West High School. In college, I played NCAA lacrosse at Butler University and Division I Club Lacrosse at Purdue University. After graduation, I worked in sales at Motorola and coached lacrosse in it's first years at Wheaton Warrenville South High School. I went back to school to get my teaching certificate, and I have now been teaching PE for 9 years. This year, I am lucky enough to be teaching at both Lowell and Longfellow Elementary Schools. My wife Nikki and I live in Wheaton with our two kids Quinn and Dylan.
