Teaching style
My classroom was all about structure, clarity, and student engagement. I relied on daily bell ringers to set the tone, used learning stations to promote collaboration, and incorporated primary sources, simulations, and authentic literacy tasks to bring history to life. The goal? Help students think critically while giving teachers a break from reinventing the wheel.
Awards & shining teacher moments
2017 Colorado Teacher of the Year for Innovation in Financial Education Award – Presented by Attorney General Cynthia Coffman for my work in promoting authentic financial literacy instruction in Colorado.
One of my proudest moments was seeing my students take ownership of their learning during a full-day historical simulation on the Trans-Saharan Trade routes — they didn’t even realize they were doing rigorous thinking because they were so engaged. These types of activities and simulations became my personal favorite!
My own education history
I hold a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Adams State University and an Educational Specialist Degree from the University of Northern Colorado. My focus has always been designing curriculum that works — not just on paper, but in real classrooms with real students.
Additional biographical information
I live in Colorado with my wife and three kids and currently serve as a Dean of Students at a K–8 school. When I’m not creating classroom resources or chasing my kids around, I enjoy hiking, CrossFit, and helping other educators build strong, student-centered learning environments.
