While in Hawaii, I met my wife, Caryn, who presently teaches second grade at Norwood-Norfolk. We have two daughters, Malia and Kiana.  We now live approximately eighteen miles from Edwards-Knox in Pierrepont. My parents' names are Rodney and Patricia. I have two brothers and two sisters: Rodney, Terry, Bobbi and Marnie.  I enjoy several outdoor activities including archery, golf, motorcycling, hunting, camping, and working in the woods.

I have completed a Bachelor of Science program with majors in Elementary Education and Secondary Mathematics from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. Also, I completed my masters degree in Instructional Technology and Media Management at SUNY Potsdam.
