This is my 5th year teaching science at St. Matthew School. I will begin my 15th year teaching in August of 2025. I previously taught 5th grade for 6 years and 4th grade for 4 years at Stratton Academy of the Arts in Champaign. I am happily married (Tamara <3) and the father of 4 wonderful children; Clark (6th Grade), Rose (4th Grade), Vincent (1st Grade), and Scarlett (2 years and 9 months). My wife and I are native to Champaign and have lived here most of our lives. I absolutely love teaching at St. Matthew School because I get to celebrate my faith and help guide middle schoolers in the faith. I feel blessed to be an example and role model to your children. Thank you for this opportunity!
