C.J.'s roots run deep in the area, a place he returned to after serving in the US Air Force over 20 years ago. His commitment to his community didn't stop upon his return; instead, it flourished in a new direction. For the past 20 years, C.J. has served as a high school science and technology teacher, imparting not just knowledge, but also his passion for exploration, discovery and music upon his students.Beyond the classroom, C.J.'s love for the great outdoors is evident in his hobbies. He is an avid adventurer, often found hiking the mountains of Pennsylvania and beyond, paddling serene lakes and rivers, camping under the starlit sky, or foraging for nature's bounty. These activities not only satisfy his deep connection with nature but also inspire his teaching, bringing real-world experiences into his classroom.
Music is another of C.J.'s passions. His musical taste is as diverse as his interests, spanning classic and modern rock, reggae, and jazz. C.J. is not just a listener but a musician, known in local circles for his unique solo acoustic sets that feature songs by iconic artists like Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton, among others. 100% of the proceeds from his live performances are donated to local charities, underscoring his deep commitment to giving back to the community that has shaped him.
