Professionally, I have presented at various Physical Education conferences and district staff trainings. I have received an "Above & Beyond" award from our Superintendent and BOE. I have been awarded over half a dozen grants and have been honored to be a Lead Teacher and mentor teacher for our district.
Personally, I have competed regionally and nationally in Strongman competitions and have placed 1st-3rd in over a dozen competitions. I have also competed in powerlifting and bodybuilding. I have completed my 2nd degree black belt training in Taekwondo with my son.
