I am a native New Yorker, navy veteran, and at this point, a veteran in the classroom, too. As long as I have been behind the teacher's desk, this career is a calling - so it never gets old, to me.

My favorite thing about "paradise" or building a life here in Key West is that for me the opportunities have seemed limitless and at times, seamless for me. I am not new to the Keys, but I also feel like having that extra year under my belt has helped me to better adjust to a move to the lower keys.
