Principal’s Message

Greetings Henry Abbott Tech Families, Staff, and Community,

Over the last two school years all educators, students, and families have worked through some of the most difficult learning situations ever present in education.   As we move back into the building full time, and hopefully eliminate the need for masking in the very near future, we will set out to have the most “normal” year that we can.  I look forward to getting back to “in-person” instruction, allowing our students and staff to excel in the delivery of instruction, visiting job sites with students working on production, re-opening Thyme Cafe and Hats Off Salon to the public, and enjoying all of our Wolverine Athletics.  Welcome to the Class of 2025 and let’s get ready for a great senior year Class of 2022! 

A little about my background…

I’ve been a public school educator for over twenty years, beginning my career teaching middle and high school for the Stamford Public School in Stamford, CT before moving to Atlanta, GA were I continued teaching and then transitioned into school leadership. Moving back to Connecticut in 2010, I continued in my role as a school leader with the Stamford Public Schools, before being hired at Henry Abbott Tech as Assistant Principal for the 2014/15 school year. I have served on numerous building and district committees and have even been recognized a few times for my work. I am most proud of the Champion of Children Award that I received from the Center for Children’s Advocacy back in 2013. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Western Connecticut State University in Social Science and Secondary Education, followed by graduate degrees and certificates from Sacred Heart University and the University of Connecticut.

On a personal note…

I was born and raised here in Danbury and currently live in Brookfield. Abbott Tech has been a part of my life for some time, my brother graduated as a plumber in 1987, and my grandfather graduated from carpentry when the school was still located on Main Street. My wife, a former Spanish teacher, is a local small business owner, and we have two girls ages 12 and 9.
