My wife Jennifer and I are both graduates from Purdue and have lived in West Lafayette since graduation in 1993.   We both completed graduate programs at Purdue and were fortunate to find employment in West Lafayette.  I worked for the Purdue Libraries until 2000 when I transferred to a position at Cook Biotech in the Purdue Research Park.  I am currently the Director of IT at Cook Biotech and work with a team of IT professionals to support the global efforts of Cook Medical, based in Bloomington.  I also serve as the Compliance Administrator for Cook Biotech and oversee the Ethics & Compliance Program.

Jennifer and I have two boys Nate and Zach.  Nate started at Montessori when he was 3 and continued through the 3rd grade.  Nate is currently in 5th grade at St Lawrence.  We were extremely pleased with Nate’s progress while at Montessori and believe his love of reading and kind, loving demeanor were developed during his years at MSGL.   Zach is currently finishing his Kindergarten year and will be moving into the Elementary program.  Zach has a very easy-going personality with a desire to explore and be free.  He thrives on the mobility and freedom to choose activities for himself.   We feel the MSGL Elementary program will continue to allow Zach to grow and progress in his areas of interest: math and reading.  Jennifer and I have helped at work days, at book fairs, with classroom projects, with the house committee, and with the Scrip program.   I look forward to continue helping MSGL grow and develop its programs by serving on the board and working with the MSGL community.
