Growing up in Minnesota, I had a brief stint in minor league baseball before pursuing my B.S. in chemistry from St. John’s University, followed by an M.S. from the University of Michigan. With 16 years as a medicinal chemist at Elan Pharmaceuticals, I've contributed to over 50 patents focused on Alzheimer’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. Now, I'm in my third year teaching at LAHS while juggling family life with three kids and a wife who is a 5th-grade teacher. My hobbies include cooking, gardening, and playing competitive baseball.
