A Little About Me

I have been teaching at West Vigo High School since 1990. I have taught a wide variety of classes including Accounting, Business Foundations, Business Law, Business Management, Business Math, Marketing, Keyboarding (even typing back in the day), Computer Applications, Computer Science, Web Design, Interactive Media, PC-Support and Network Systems.


I am currently teaching classes in the Information Technology Operations Pathway and the Computer Science Pathway.


My wife (Nancy) and I enjoy hiking and nature photography. We enjoy exploring our state and national parks and spending time with our children and grandchildren.
