I am the Team Assistant for the Clover House middle school team. I am thrilled to be a part of this great group of teachers and students and look forward very much to getting to know and support all your sons and daughters in Clover. After a brief exploration of becoming a teacher back in the mid-90’s, my career opportunities led down other paths. But I have always hoped the day would come when the time was right for me to become part of a school community and help students reach their potential. I am the father of two wonderful daughters, Sylvie and Georgia, and the husband of an amazing wife and teacher, Cris Milks, who is the 5-8 Math Interventionist at WCS. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know all of you and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

I am fortunate and excited to be in my eigth year at WCS as a Humanities teacher. Prior to my arrival at WCS, I taught 6-8 Humanities for 11 years at Milton Middle School in Vermont.  I worked in a variety of educational settings, both private and public to build my skills and gain experience before becoming a public school teacher. I have a B.A. in English Literature from Saint Michael’s, and a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Vermont. I am excited to engage with students around their passions and interests, and to learn together. The passions and interests that I bring to my teaching include a love for reading, writing, performing/presenting, and the social sciences. Additionally, music, athletics, and cooking are areas that bring joy to my life and that I willingly share with others.  Currently, I live in Burlington with my amazing wife, Naomi,  and my two creative daughters, Harper and Juniper.
