About Me
Besides my professional life at Kutztown, I do have many other interests and hobbies.
​
I enjoy watching sports, especially my hometown Cleveland Guardians and Cleveland Browns. Ice hockey is another one of my interests, and my team is the Columbus Blue Jackets. I am always up for talking sports with my students and usually incorporate them into lecture somehow.
​
Movies are another joy of mine. I tend to gravitate toward animated and fantasy films. Movie references are a big part of my lecture material! I am the advisor for the Anime Club on campus as I enjoy watching anime and reading the periodical manga.
​
I like to garden and typically have many flowers and vegetables going in the summer time.
​
I take great pride in my "nerdiness". I play Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons each week. I will periodically roll my d20 in lecture to determine the course of the lecture.

Personal
Family
I have been married to my wonderful wife, Heather, since 2016. I have three wonderful children: Noah, Robyn, and Brennan.
Rossby
Students past and present will recognize the official mascot of GEG 204 Meteorology and GEG 304 Weather Analysis: my cat Rossby. Rossby, named after Carl Gustaf Rossby, appears in lecture and map discussions. We love him dearly, and he is the best cat ever!
