Thank you for the warm welcome as the Principal of Whitehall Coplay Middle School.  My career in education has spanned 23 years and 5 school districts. The past 18 years have been in administration. 

Delaware Valley University granted me a Doctorate in Educational Leadership in 2017 with dissertation work in the area of assessment.  I earned a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Lehigh University in 2006.  Kutztown University conferred a Master’s in Education in Social Studies in 1998 along with a teaching certificate.  

My educational experiences have afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of people to meet the common goal of increasing student achievement and well-being. My educational philosophy is based on a belief that all students can learn, given a positive learning environment, strong and knowledgeable leadership, a committed and focused educational team, an encouraging community, and a supportive family.

This school year will bring changes moving us in a positive direction socially and academically for all students.  I am excited for the growth this school year will bring. I will work diligently along with you and your child’s teachers to ensure a positive learning experience for all the students.

I have been an Assistant Principal here at Whitehall-Coplay School District, since 2005. I have my letter of Superintendent Eligibility from Marywood University. I received my Master's of Education from East Stroudsburg University, and first became an Assistant Principal at Northampton Middle School. I started my education at Lock Haven University, where I played four years of football while earning my Bachelors Degree and Teaching Certificate. My first teaching job was as a Health and Physical Education teacher at Northampton Middle School and coached High School football, as well as Powerlifting.

As a graduate of Whitehall-Coplay School District, and a three sport athlete, I take great pride in this community and the student population. As an administrator, I enjoy creating relationships with the students and watching them grow throughout their middle school years.

My wife and I of 32 years reside in Montgomery County with our dog Mocha. We have two beautiful daughters, Jaclyn, a Physical Therapist and Danielle, a Digital Marketing Manager, who are our pride and joy. We enjoy spending family time with our girls and their boyfriends on the weekends, spending time at our pool and traveling.

I look forward to another great year at the Middle School. Go Zephyrs!

It is my pleasure to serve you as an assistant principal this year. Over the past 24 years, I have served as an elementary paraprofessional, a middle school math and science teacher, and as a high school assistant principal. Currently, I’m in my 5th year as an assistant principal at Whitehall-Coplay Middle School and have enjoyed each aspect of my career path.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Cedar Crest College, a Master’s of Education in ESOL from Penn State and a Principal Certification from Cabrini University. 

When I’m not at school, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children. They help motivate and encourage me to do my very best when serving the Whitehall-Coplay community. In addition to spending time with my family, I enjoy working out, traveling, and doing DIY projects around the house.

As this new school year approaches, I’m excited to get to know you and your child better as we work together to make you and your child’s experience at the Middle School the best it can be.
