I began working in the HVAC field in1981 and passed my Masters HVAC Certification Test in 1985. I have worked in the field extensively and was given the opportunity to teach a course at Wor-Wic Community college. I was excited to teach the trade, and when the opportunity came about to move to Parkside High School to teach full time, I jumped at it. I started at Parkside in 2008 and have been here since then.
