I am a believer in lifelong learning and love dabbling in a little bit of everything. Before coming to CCE I worked my local zoo for many years in various roles, taught in public and charter schools, and assisted individuals with disabilities in developing employment and healthy living skills in Syracuse. I have a dual BA in Anthropology and Evolutionary studies from Binghamton University. I am a father of one and love exploring nature, culture, and in particular, food with my daughter. We are always trying out new experiments and recipes in our free time but once it warms up we want to be out gardening, in the woods hiking, or at the lake Kayaking. One of my favorite things about teaching and learning is how it can transform how we look at the world, turning the mundane into the fascinating, and how we just can’t help but care once you learn enough to be interested.
