I have been teaching at Franklin for the last 25 years.  I am teaching American Government, Economics, and Law/Justice  and General Psychology courses this 2020-21 school year.

I am the Varsity softball coach here at FHS.   I also coach basketball at Emerson Middle School boys and girls 7th and 8th grde teams.

I attended Taylor University for my Bachelors of Science.  I have my masters degree from Central Michigan University.  I have taken graduate courses from Michigan State University, the Universitt of Missouri, Drake University, Laverne University, and University of St. Francis.  I also have my administrators certificate.

My wife Sandy is a physical therapist for three school districts in Oakland county.  My three children  are Tyler, Madison, and Caroline.   Tyler and Madison attend Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.  Caroline is starting her freshmen year at Seaholm High School.

I look forward to working with stud!ents, parents, and my other collegues to make your experience at the Franklin super!
