Overview – My Life Pathway

Alex Serious Pose

A Hoosier from the very first day – I was born in South Bend, Indiana, and raised in Northwest Indiana (“The Region”). I reside along sand-loving Lake Michigan just south of the Mitten (Michigan). Most of my immediate family resides in Northwest Indiana, with extended family in California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

I continually seek new challenges that will help me grow personally and professionally. As a lifelong learner and educator, I encourage myself to follow the “Always Learning, Always Teaching.”
