I am a product of the Boise School District. I attended Cynthia Mann, Hillside, and Capital before attending BSU. My love of history was a result of my 5th grade history teacher, which drives me to reach my students through the content as a teacher.
I have been teaching at Hillside since 2011. This is a truly amazing school to be a part of as a student and a staff member. I attended Hillside from 1996-1999 and it has been great to be back within the walls of this building. Throughout the year it is my goal to create a safe, engaging, and fun atmosphere for the students to learn about US History.
I have also been the athletic director at Hillside since 2016. Some of my other responsibilities also include coaching 9th grade volleyball and tennis.
One of my favorite sports to play is tennis and I have been coaching it since 2004.
In my spare time I love to spend time with my wife, play with my dog, read, garden and get out into the wilderness for camping and snowshoeing adventures with friends and family.
