Teaching gives me the opportunity to help children achieve the greatest gift they will ever earn, knowledge. I get to enrich childrens' lives through engaging and interactive lessons, cooperative learning, and hard work. I also have the privilege to educate children who will have the opportunity to grow up to be; kind, loving, respectful, thoughtful, and independent members of society. It's great to be a teacher!

The two loves of my life; my wife Cathy and my 5 year old son, Rhone! My wife and I travelled around the world for 8.5 months and visited 19 countries!. I love to cook! Mountain biking is my favorite thing to do! I lived in Steamboat Springs for 12 years, where I snowboarded 100-120 days per year! Fall is my favorite season!
