Biography
Michael was raised in Toms River, NJ and attended Monsignor Donovan High School. Upon graduation he studied theology and political science, and played lacrosse and ice hockey at Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA. Those experiences led to time spent studying peace and conflict resolution in the former Yugoslavia. His time overseas inspired him to continue his academic work involving theology and conflict studies, so he moved to Philadelphia in order to work and study at Villanova University, where he ultimately earned his MA in theology with a concentration in ethics.
With experience teaching honors-level and International Baccalaureate courses in philosophy, sacred literature, social justice and world religions, Mr. Santos teaches both freshman and sophomore theology, is a member of the Campus Ministry Committee and is the moderator for the Mock Trial team.
If he's not at school or hanging out with his wife and sons, you'll likely find him hunting, fishing or cooking.
