I have spent the past 20+ years in New Hampshire public education. I started as a Paraeducator, spent four years in alternative education for students with significant behavioral and emotional challenges, was a high school English teacher and special education case manager for 13 years and for the past five years, I was the Asst. Principal/Coordinator of Special Education at the Hanover Street School in Lebanon. My wife and I live in Lebanon and we have two boisterous, precocious kids, Michael (my step son), and Jaina.
