Father of 2 amazing kiddos, Keegan(13) and Kenzie(8). Husband to my best friend, Leslie. We have known each other since middle school and together in a loving relationship for 25 years. Lover of my 2 boxer dogs, Tucker(10) and Dot(1). Graduated from the University of Oregon on a football scholarship in 2001. Educator since 2004, ranging from self-contained ED at the high school level to RSP/LC at the middle school level. I couldn't imagine a more fun and dynamic job than being a SpEd teacher, watching students have those "aha" moments fuels my passion.

Purpose statement:

My purpose as an educator is to provide equity to students in the learning environment so that all students can access the same opportunities.  All students can and will learn at different rates. It is my passion to help students unlock their potential and guide them in eliminating as many obstacles as possible.
