I have been in education for 15 years, ranging from 1st grade to 5th grade to instructional coach to middle school math to High School administrator. I enjoy working with kids of all ages. And I love working with and helping teachers.
Teaching style
I love to teach students how to think. Once they know how to think, there are endless opportunities. I am also a firm believer in finding ways to make learning fun - incorporating games, projects, collaboration and anything else that pulls in the kids.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was selected to be on the Fulton County Technology Leadership Forum. After going through extensive training, I was able to present at our county's technology fare. I also served on our school's Governance Council and many other school and district leadership committees.
My own education history
I did my k-12 schooling in Fort Collins, CO. After graduating, I studied at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. After floating around through about 5 different majors, I finally found my calling in Elementary Education.
Additional biographical information
I have a wife and 4 kids, ranging from elementary to high school. I love to read, build things and basically anything outdoors.
