I am celebrating my 12th year as
Principal here at Wilkerson! My wife Marilyn and I have been married for
19 years and we have two daughters. My oldest is a junior in high
school and my youngest daughter enters 9th grade. I graduated
from Pennsylvania State University in1989. While there, I earned a degree
in Health education and I earned my masters’ degree from University of
Detroit/ Mercy . I spent one year (1989) playing professional football
with the Detroit Lions but that has become a distant memory I spend most
of my time car pooling to ice hockey, volleyball, basketball, soccer,
baseball and Polish Dance but I enjoy every minute of it. I enjoy reading
historical fiction novels, hunting, watching Penn State Football ,
spending time at our cottage near Alpena MI, and being a DAD. |
