My favorite color is red. My favorite vacation is spending a week at my friends' cottage on Stuart Lake in the upper peninsula where we have the only cottage on the lake. My favorite time of year is the fall, I love the colors and smells of the season. My favorite holiday is Christmas. My favorite person on the planet is my daughter, Tricia. My favorite high school is Lapeer West!

About West:

I feel fortunate to be at West High School. West has a strong reputation in the community and beyond, and now that I've met the staff and students I understand what a special place we have here. I am proud to be a Panther!!

Major Influence:

My parents are my major influence. My dad always challenged me to give my best and to give more than what was expected. My mother always taught me to be extend kindness to others and to give to others without the expectation of receiving something in return.

Advice to students:

Become aware of your talents. Celebrate your strengths. Give generously to the world!
