World Geography
Class Overview
Geography is the study of the spatial aspects of human existence and enables students to find answers to questions about the world around them. A geographically informed person sees, understands, and appreciates the connections among people, places, and environments. Understanding these connections requires an acute awareness of space, which can be identified in terms of location, distance, direction, pattern, shape, and arrangement. With a strong grasp of geography, students will be prepared to understand issues and solve problems in the contemporary world.
About Me
Hello Wildcat Families and Friends!!! I am extremely excited to start another semester teaching World Geography here at Richmond Hill High School (RHHS). This is my second year teaching at RHHS and my seventh year working in the education field. I am originally from Houston, Texas but have lived all over the world due to my 20+ years in the military. I have been married to my wife (April) for 20 years and we have a wonderful daughter (Lily) who is starting her new adventure in 6th grade at Richmond Hill Middle School this year. We have lived in this amazing community of Richmond Hill since 2017 and have finally found a place, after many years of travelling around the country, that we call home.
