I started my teaching career in March of 1989.  I received my teaching certification from Rowan University as a Teacher of Skilled Trades/Carpentry.  Following in my fathers foot steps, I grew up doing carpentry and began working as a professional carpenter. While in high school I built homes and did remodeling work before becoming a union carpenter.

I attended Camden County Vocational Technical School in Sicklerville, NJ for carpentry, and the Burlington County Institute of Technology for welding.  I've attended Burlington County Community College as a business major from 1970 to 1972. I received my Teaching certificate from Glassboro State College.   I also hold a New Jersey Construction Official Building Sub-Code and Building ICS Carpenters License.
