Things to know about me:

I began teaching in 2007.  In that time I have taught both 4th and 5th grades.  Aside from work I have a few hobbies.  They include hunting, fishing, gardening, reading and bowling.  I have 4 children and 2 grandchildren.  Family is a major part of my life.  I'm told that I am funny and I enjoy a good, "Dad Joke." Life has taught me a few guiding principals which affect my practice. They include: 

1. Hard work leads to success. 

2. Integrity is important. 

3. Everyone makes mistakes.  It's what you do about those mistakes that is important.
