I am a graduate of New Britain High School, Capitol Community Technical College and Central Connecticut State University. When I graduated from high school I was employed at a custom cabinet shop and learned the trade of finish custom carpentry. I did this for 4 years and loved it but decided to and pursue my interests in drafting/design and went to college and received my Associates Degree in Architecture. After working for myself and others for sometime I decided to do some traveling. I moved to Utah with some friends and worked at a ski resort and then to Maui to windsurf. Eventually I returned home and combined my interests, skills and education and went back to school to become a Technology Education teacher.
