Tell us about yourself?

I was born and raised in Bloomfield, NJ a small town about 15 miles from New York City. I graduated Bloomfield HS and went on to get a BS degree from the University of the State of New York-Regents College, Albany, NY in Psychology. I began my teaching and coaching career at St. Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark, NJ. I taught physical education and coached freshman basketball in the early years. I remained teaching for over 25 years and continued to coach on various levels.

How many years have you coached and at what level?
