About me.

After receiving my Master’s in Elementary Education from the University of Pittsburgh, I began my career, providing wrap-around services for children on the Autism spectrum. In 2003, I transitioned into providing birth - 3 Early Intervention services in Allegheny County. Over the last 18 years, I am proud to have helped over 1,000 children and their families, work through developmental and behavioral challenges. My energy, enthusiasm, and creativity, combined with my ability to quickly build rapport and meaningful relationships with parents, have made me a very effective educator.

Born and raised in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, I currently reside there with my wife, our two children, and many four-legged companions - three dogs, two cats, and fish. When I’m not fixing things around the house, walking my dogs, or shuttling my kids to and from their activities, I can be found outdoors hiking and mountain biking. In 2019, I completed the Rachel Carson Trail challenge and hope to again, this year.
