Hello,

As the new Athletic Director at Bedford North-Lawrence, I wanted to take a moment to "introduce" myself. 

I was born in Buffalo, New York (Go Bills!) and eventually moved to Orlando Florida where I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University. There I obtained my BS in Psychology and Minor in Education while also completing Master coursework in Educational Leadership at Lynn University. I met my wife Dena, who is originally from North Vernon, in Orlando in 2016 and we got married in 2020. We are blessed with a one year old son, Maverick who is absolutely the life of the party. He will be cheering on the Stars from the stands at most events.

 Be Good, Do Good and Go Stars!
