About half of my adult life was spent working in the private sector, the biggest part of that in a research and development electronics unit at Martin Marietta during the Reagan years. I am a second generation Coloradan and traveled enough to know that Colorado is a very special place to be able to live and work. This is my 26th year in the public sector teaching at the secondary level, my 24rd in Jefferson County, my 18th at Standley Lake High School, and my 3rd in Social Studies. I look forward to working with your children to help them become active, critical, involved and informed citizens of our great country.
