Currently Teaching: HSJROTC 1-2 (Leadership Education Training 1-2)
"I attended high school in Southern California and played football and basketball. Upon leaving school was drafted into the United States Army and spent 24 years traveling the world and seeing exotic places like Vietnam, Germany, Thailand, and Alaska. I graduated from City College in Pasadena, California, and I finally graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business just prior to retiring from the Army.
I am big supporter of Wooster athletics and the JROTC program. I hope to work a few more years and then retire and spend more time with my grandkids."
