Q: What is your favorite thing about LGES?

A: My favorite part is the kids. Getting to know them and all their different personalities. Watching them grow from kindergarten all the way to sixth-grade has been a joy.

A: I have been working for the district for 31 years.

Q: What was your first job?

A: I worked as a salad chef and a dishwasher at Roaring Brook Ranch when I was 14.

Q: What is something that people might not know about you?

A: Before I came to Lake George Central School District, I was in the U.S. Air Force for eight years and was in Desert Storm. Outside of school, my favorite hobby is fishing for trout.
