About Me

I grew up in Northern Virginia and have lived in West Lafayette, Indiana and Woodbury, Connecticut before moving to Greenville in 2001.  My wife Susan is a nurse, and we have four children: Sarah (attending Greenville Tech Charter High School), Catherine (an 8th grader at Langston), Emily (a 6th grader at Langston, and Matthew (attending Oakview Elementary).  We have been very pleased with the quality of education our daughters have received at Langston, and strongly support its focus on leadership and community service.
