What made you decide to join the Crew at Alma?
I've always like the idea of being a teacher but never had the courage to put myself out there and really try. Thanks to the advice from my wife and some close friends I decided to give it a shot and I could not be more excited!
What do you hope to contribute to Alma?
I hope to contribute to Alma by sharing my experiences with the students I will be responsible for teaching. I'd like to believe I am well traveled for someone of my age, I have worked in both the nonprofit and private sector, and love to play sports and believe that all of these past experiences hold some value that I hope I can pass along to the students.
What teacher made a difference in your life, and how?
The teacher (Professor) that made the greatest difference in my life was Pr. Sperro at Fitchburg State University. He ignited my passion for politics and geopolitical theory and showed me that education doesn't have to be just tests and reading books, but through critical thinking and a little bit of effort learning can be engaging and rewarding.
Why did you become involved in education?
I decided to get involved in education because personally my education really shaped my life in many different ways. I evolved in my beliefs, personal relationships and confidence as a direct result in the progression of my education.
Where did you go to college or post-secondary school and what did you like about it?
I attended Fitchburg State University. I greatly enjoyed my political science and history classes, specifically learning about ancient Greek and Roman History, as well as WWII
