About Me

Informative, yet marginally interesting, facts about Sprague.

I am 49 years old as of September 10th and am married to an amazing, beautiful woman named Jenn. She deserves consideration sainthood for putting up with me! Our son, Weston is 13 years old and is a cross between a pinball and a squirrel. He is an absolute joy and has made each day spent together brighter through his fearless love of life.

I was born in Chicago, Illinois, but grew up in Carson City, Nevada. I spent most of my childhood fishing, riding motorcycles, playing football and wrestling. I went to college in Reno, Nevada and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in 1997. I then moved to San Diego, California, became addicted to surfing, and worked towards a Master’s degree in Teaching, which I finished in 2004. Jenn and I got married while living in San Diego, and then moved out here to Denver in 2001.

For hobbies, I really love to exercise, adventure, and learn. I am an avid runner and weight lifter, and enjoy running trail half marathons. I also ride my mountain bike as much as possible. My absolute favorite sport is snowboarding though and I will likely make you do snow dances in the winter. There is nothing quite so perfect as a steep line of untracked powder through the trees. I really, really like to learn as well, and honestly spend lots of my free time reading and teaching myself science and history. I also enjoy listening to and playing music, playing video games, hiking, camping, fishing, fantasy football, and playing video games. Yes, I said video games twice.

This will be my twenty third year teaching in LPS. I taught fifth grade at Mark Twain Elementary for three years, then moved here to Powell where I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade sciences over the years. So I have a really good sense of what content you learned in the past as well as what you will learn in the future!
