This will be my fifth year teaching here at Trail Ridge, and second teaching Language Arts. Previously I taught Social Studies for the past three years to both 7th and 8th grade students. I have my Bachelor's degree in History from Colorado State University where I also received my teaching license. I also coach high school football in the district at Mead High School where I will be entering my sixth year of coaching. I also attended school in St Vrain and grew up nearby in Firestone.

During the fall you can find me coaching at the high school or spending my weekends curled up on the couch with my wife and three dogs watching even more football. My favorite teams are the Denver Broncos and Oregon Ducks. I spend my summers fishing, camping, or taking my dogs paddle boarding.
