Educational Background: 

Bachelor of Science: Business Administration (Management)  -  Suffolk University.  Master of Education:  - Endicott College

Biography and Teaching Philosophy: 

I have had and extensive and diverse career that includes thirty-four years in the National Guard, experience in the banking and insurance industries as well as in the speculative "dot-com bubble" of the 1990s.  In each case, I had "hands-on" management and logistical experience ranging from First Sergeant of a Combat Engine company to Planning and Operations Manager for high volume (250,000 calls per day) contact centers.  Additionally, I have owned two businesses. 
I changed directions about five years ago and I currently teach 7^th grade Social Studies in the Town of Lexington, Massachusetts.   

My experience includes tenure at BayBanks, BankBoston, Fleet Bank and Allmerica Insurance.   In banking and insurance, I managed departments of analysts, line staff and operational departments.  In all cases I managed to be "hands-on", and effectively reached out to other areas of each business.  This gave me a well-rounded perspective of what it takes to build a winning team.  

Interests:

I am a rabid baseball fan, and, for what may be obvious reasons, I have a strong interest in history.  I am interested in history from both academic and nonacademic perspectives.  Maps hold a special interest for me.  I enjoy fine restaurants and neighborhood eateries.  Most importantly, I like to spend time with my family.
