Hello,

This is my second year at West Wing and eighth in the Deer Valley District. I have taught grades 3-8 holding a B.A. degree in Eduction from Eastern Washington University. I also hold endorsements in Structured English Immersion, Reading Specialist, and Language Arts as highly qualified.

I recently celebrated my 21st wedding anniversary with my beautiful wife who is also an educator in the Deer Valley District. We have three children (20, 16, and 5) and two dogs who run the house. The continuous rays of sunshine and outdoor life originally brought us to Arizona 13 years ago from the state of Washington where both of our extended families reside. We used to make the trip back home to cool off during the extreme times of summer heat, but have since found a special place in Sedona to get away which is MUCH closer and easier to reach when that spontaneous feeling sets in.....  the California beaches can fill that void as well, yes?! 

If you ever feel the need to mix in some sports talk, my door is always open!
