About Me
I'm a Christ-follower, husband, father, teacher, coach, in that order! Julie and I committed to each other in 2006! I have four kids (Sophie 19, Ella 18, Eliza 16, Evan 12)! I was a Civil Engineer in the US Army Corps of Engineers for 23 years, retired and started teaching at RHHS in 2020, mask on! I truly enjoy those Student EUREKA moments! I love teaching, engineering, mechatronics, soccer, robots, and community service! Let's BUILD the HILL together!
