My Biography
I have been teaching at Madison Prep since the first day in August of 2000.  My classes are US History 1-6, Classics, Political Science, and US Constitution.  I am the head football coach and I assist Mr. Batchelder during baseball season.  In addition, I am the advisor to the student Senate, and the director of the jazz band. 

In 1992 I graduated from J.P. McCaskey high school in Lancaster, PA.  I earned my B.A. in history from the University of Pittsburgh in 1996. I completed my M.A. in history from Duquesne University in 1998.  Before coming to Arizona, I worked as an archivist for Allegheny county and a curator for the State Museum of Pennsylvania.  My wife Alissa, my daughter Abigail, and I reside in Gilbert.

We love you TJ !
