• FIREFIGHTING

This is my sixth year as part of the SLPS Public Safety Academy, and I love it!  Teaching is my third career, following video production and vintage truck restoration.  I am currently a volunteer fire fighter with the French Village Fire Department in Fairview Heights, Illinois.  I am a Nationally-Registered EMT, and hold certifications in Fire Fighter I&II, Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations, Fire Instructor I, and NFPA1403. 

I am passionate about teaching in Career and Technical Education, and helping students get a successful start in the career of their choice.  It’s fun to see students learn to use their hands and tools to master fire fighting skills.

My son graduated from University of Michigan and is now living and working in finance in Chicago.  My daughter graduated in 2020 from Clayton High-School, and will graduate this year from Loyola University of Chicago.  I live in Clayton with my wife Lois, who works for Edward Jones, and my dog Savannah, who loves playing frisbee but hates storms.
