I have been teaching in District 49 since 2005, and have truly found a family of fellow educators, students, and parents. I grew up in Littleton, Colorado but now reside in Meridian Ranch neighborhood. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado and I obtained my Master's of Arts in Teaching degree at Colorado College. My wonderful wife, Kim, is a teacher at Woodmen Hills Elementary. We have four children--three girls and one boy-- who keep us busy with academic interests, activities, and sports.

My favorite quote is from Martin Luther King, Jr: “Intelligence plus character – that is the true goal of education.”
