I am certified in PhysEd and have vast experience with disciplinary roles in several of the schools I've worked in.  I am willing to pursue other certifications to fulfill a needed role/opportunity in the school system that see's me as a potential hire.

I am currently the head wrestling coach at Polytech HS in Woodside, DE. We currently have 4 kids ranked in the top 4 of the State with all of them being members of the prestigious TEAM DELAWARE which competes at the National level in Fargo, ND; Florida - Disney Duals and New Orleans - AAU Nationals. My coaching experience is vast and includes Freestyle and Greco-Roman as well. My coaching experience includes 5 years as an assistant coach at the (College) Division I level. As a head wrestling coach in Maryland we produced 7 State finalists in 3 years, 1 high school All-American and a State dual meet Championship. In Delaware, I've coached in 2 schools prior to my current position where we produced 16 State Placers and 4 Division I College Wrestlers - 2 of which are competing currently for Lock Haven & Bloomsburg University(s). Our teams were Conference Champions, Regional Champions and State Dual Meet Finalists. As a wrestler and proud graduate of William Floyd HS I wrestled 3 years (1 out due to injury) and was a League Runner-up. My weight class had one of Long Islands best ever wrestlers in Pete Yozzo. I was 2nd in New York State's Freestyle Championships (Summer) and went on to compete for the All-Air Force Team as an active duty member of the Armed Forces. I was an AAU National Champion in Freestyle and 3rd in Greco-Roman in 1994.

I have a passion for the sport of wrestling and impacting young people that continues to burn brightly. If anyone is interested in "passing the torch," and handing their program over to someone who is capable and has a proven track record or there is an available opening for a Head Wrestling Coach - please contact me at the following email address: tompavia@aol.com or tpavia@polytech.k12.de.us.
