Students:Class information may be found by following the appropriate links at the left. ProfessionalI have been teaching physics at Lynn English High School since 2011. (Go Bulldogs!) Prior to teaching at LEHS, I taught chemistry at other schools in the greater Boston area. Chemistry remains my favorite of the sciences, but physics is my favorite subject to teach. I am also the advisor for the LEHS Science Team and the LEHS Roleplaying Club. I hold an expired National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification in Science: Adolescence & Young Adulthood. I am an active participant in the Boston University Physics Teacher Network (BU-PTN), and I teach AP® Physics workshops for Mass Insight Education. Mini BiographyI was born in December 1964, which places me at the tail end of the Baby Boomers, but I identify much more with Generation X. I grew up in Big Flats, New York and went to school in Corning, where I graduated as salutatorian of Corning-Painted Post East High School in 1983. I earned two bachelor of science (S.B.) degrees from MIT, one in chemical engineering (1987) and one in biology (1988). After college, I worked as a chemical process engineer for Advanced Magnetics (now AMAG Pharmaceuticals), and then as a software engineer and operations manager for several startup companies. I started my teaching career in 2003. I married my wife Nancy (a fellow MIT graduate) in 1996, and we went to Antarctica for our honeymoon. We have two amazing adult daughters. My gender is male, and I use he/him pronouns. InterestsMy primary interests outside of school are music and dance. I am the principal violist of the Reading Symphony Orchestra and the Firebird Pops Orchestra. I also play with Symphony by the Sea and the Apollo Ensemble of Boston. I am the dance foreman (teacher) and lead musician for two morris dance teams: Red Herring Morris, an adult team, and Banbury Cross Morris, a children's team (age 9 through high school). I have a wide range of other hobbies and interests as well, including caving, scuba diving, coffee roasting, locksmithing, roleplaying & LARPs, bicycling, travel, amateur radio, camping & hiking, computers, photography, theater, skiing, trains, and coin collecting.
