Recently retired Superintendent of Capital School District. I have been an adjunct instructor for Wilmington University for 29 years.

I studied special education at Slippery Rock University which is renowned for its special education department supported by the John F. Kennedy Foundation. My master’s degree is in Reading and Doctorate in Leadership from Wilmington University. I also completed the Principals Institute at Harvard.
