Educator / Coach
Full Bio:
For more than 32 years, I’ve dedicated my life to education — both in the classroom and on the basketball court. As a teacher of Business, Computer, and Information Technology, I’ve strived to equip students with the skills and mindset to become responsible, capable citizens in a changing world.
Beyond academics, my 36 years as a head boys basketball coach — currently at Hempfield High School — have allowed me to mentor student-athletes in teamwork, discipline, and leadership.
Though retired from teaching, my passion for motivating and guiding young people continues through mentoring, coaching, and lifelong learning.

Their commitment to innovation and collaboration truly sets them apart.
A major highlight of my career as an educator and coach was receiving the Next Generation of Lancaster ‘Barbara Barr Speaker of the Year’ award, sponsored by Sahd Metal Recycling. It’s an honor I’m deeply proud of and truly cherish.”
