I am a 2003 graduate of McKenzie High School and a lifelong resident of this area. I completed my education degree at Western Governors University. Every piece of my educational path has helped mold the person and the teacher I am today. I learned from some of the very best educators, and I constantly try to put into action the things they have taught me.

This will be my third year teaching first grade at MES. I previously worked in healthcare for 12 years before deciding education was where I needed to be.

I am married to my beautiful wife, and we have 2 amazing kids. We also have 2 dogs and 2 cats. In my spare time I enjoy reading, collecting, and selling comic books (Marvel titles in particular).
