I still sit back and smile on how fortunate I have been with my career. I first came to Madison in 1998 to visit my wife's family. As we drove around the city I absolutely fell in love with what I saw. I have a hard time believing that over the past decade my career has brought me back to Madison.

I mentioned earlier that I was fortunate. I have a beautiful wife and 3 great children. I have a job that I absolutely love. I work with a staff that amazes me daily with their dedication to both Sherman Middle School and their students. I look forward to coming to school to feel the energy generated from the students.

Every day is a new day for both adults and students at Sherman. We have a sense of family which makes it an excellent learning environment. I look forward to interacting with the students because I like to joke and laugh and it seems that at times only middle school students get my sense of humor.

I said earlier I was fortunate; I think I meant lucky. I look forward to spending my academic career serving the students of the Madison School District. If you are ever bored or just looking for something to do for the day, come out to Sherman Middle School and spend the day with us. Maybe some of my luck will rub off on you.
