I have dedicated my entire career of thirty plus years to teaching in Catholic education.
I taught thirteen years at Our Lady of Fatima in the Diocese of Brooklyn, five years at St. Agatha in the Diocese of Columbus, and currently twenty-one years in the Diocese of Rockville Centre, two years at St. Edward the Confessor and nineteen years here at St. William the Abbot.
My wife and I were raised in the Catholic school system, and we understand its importance. We provided that same foundation for our three sons. Collectively we are or have been leaders of song, choir members, and altar servers. Catholic education has given all of us the foundation on which to build our lives. It is this foundation that carries over into my teaching and I am proud to tell people I am a Catholic school teacher.

I am extremely happy to have each and every student in all of my classes from kindergarten through grade eight. Together we will learn Spanish vocabulary, grammar, cultural differences and gain an appreciation of Hispanic heritage. We will take this journey via creative activities, music, projects, literature, and formal assessments. By the end of grade eight, students will have the tools to read, write and verbally communicate in another language.
