I am excited to be joining the St. Patrick team as the 7^th and 8^th grade Religion teacher for the 2020-2021 school year. Upon completing my Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from James Madison University in 2012, I met my wife and moved to Brightwaters. I worked in the finance industry in NYC for 6 years and in 2019 decided to make a career change to spend more time with my family and pursue my passion for teaching. I am currently enrolled at Hofstra University seeking a Master’s Degree in Education. Since moving to the Brightwaters/Bay Shore area I have become an active member of the community and am also a parishioner of St. Patrick. I was married in the church in 2017 and my son was baptized last September. I look forward to this wonderful journey we are embarking on this school year. It will come with its own challenges, but we are all in this together. Hope to see everyone around town and at church this coming year.
