About

I grew up and still live in New Castle Indiana. When I was in school I played football and ran track. After graduating I then went to Indiana Central University and got my undergrad degree in business management. I then worked as the owner/operator of Glenwood Mobile Home Park, a family owned business for15 years. After getting my undergrad degree I picked up my teacher license from Ball State University in business and history. I then got my special education license for emotionally handicapped from Ball State University. I acquire my Masters Degree in Education from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2008. I have been working at New Castle School for 27 years. I met my lovely wife Martha at a New Years Eve party in 1988 and married her two years later. We have one daughter Emily born in 1993. I was the president of New Castle Breakfast Optimist Club 1996/97 and 2018/19. I was president of New Castle Little League Football for ten years. I am also a life long member of New Castle First Friends Meeting. I have been the co-director for the high school drama department at New Castle High School for many years. I have been vice president of production for two civic theaters, First Nighters and the Guyer Opera House. I have been involved in many plays as an actor, director and back stage worker. I love spending my time off in the summer BBQ grilling, gardening and doing plays.
