I earned a BA in Mathematics Education from UC-Santa Cruz and MA in Teaching from Point Loma Nazarene University. This is my 8th year teaching, 1st at TK. 
 
I teach and oversee our Digital Media program which releases our MiTK News. I have a passion to encourage students' creativity through media production. 
 
My family and I moved here from California in 2021 and love our new home here in West Michigan. My wife and I have three kids and enjoy sports, games, and being outdoors. I personally enjoy hunting and fishing! I also enjoy playing basketball and softball (among other sports).
