For the past 37 years it has been my privilege to work alongside excellent colleagues, administrators, members of the WEM Board of Education, teachers, coaches, custodial, transportation, and clerical and support staff.

I have worked as a teacher, coach, and administrator and have always strived to create positive opportunities for kids.

With the support of WEM, I have also been able to serve on many local, conference, Region, and State committees and boards so that WEM had representation and in helping develop respect for the Waterville-Elysian-Morristown communities and school district and activities.
