I retired as the Co-Founder, CEO and Principal of City Charter High School (City High) in 2012. Prior to working at City High, I spent 25 years in the Pittsburgh Public Schools as a mathematics teacher and supervisor, and Coordinator of Instructional Technology. I was the Education Project Manager and a Principal Investigator of Common Knowledge: Pittsburgh, a National Science Foundation testbed for implementing the Internet into an urban public school district. I have a B.A. in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University (1975) and both a M.Ed. in Rehabilitation Counseling (1978) and an Ed.D. in Instruction and Learning (2001) from the University of Pittsburgh.
I am married to a wonderful woman (and my best friend) and have two very successful daughters. Both attended the Pittsburgh Public Schools: Regent Square ES and Reizenstein MS. My eldest graduated from Taylor Allderdice HS in Pittsburgh and my youngest graduated from City High (the charter school I co-founded). I have much to be grateful for.
