This is my 21st year of teaching. I previously worked for Cascade School District at Aumsville Elementary School. In 2016 I joined the staff at Jefferson Elementary, where I instantly felt like I belonged and was part of the family.

During my teaching career, I have taught a 1-2 blend, a 3-4 blend, a 4-5 blend, and straight 4th and 5th grades. I am currently enjoying teaching 5th grade with 32 students. 

In the past I have been a coach and mentor for a Lego Robotics Club. 

I have a Bachelors or Arts Degree, with a teaching endorsement credential. Most recently, I completed a post graduate program in Elementary Math, which entitles me to be called an Elementary Math Specialist.

My family includes my wife, two grown children, and three grandchildren. I really enjoy my role as grandpa and spend a lot of time with my grandchildren, playing and helping them with school and other projects.
