This is my 8th year teaching and my 3rd year at Grizzell! I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade PE. Although I am meant for a warmer state I love to do anything outside and explore new activities. More than anything I love to just spend time with my family no matter what we are doing. My husband and I who both grew up in Dublin, decided to stay here with our 3 children Kellen (4), Addyson (2), and  Vincent (6m). I LOVE to see students and their families around the community...although students aren't always as thrilled! 

This year I am working towards my adapted PE endorsement in an effort to become better for all of our students. I absolutely love the atmosphere at Grizzell and I hope to make all students feel the same!

After 31 years of teaching band and choir, mostly at Dublin Scioto High School, I decided to return to my first love of teaching middle school band.  This year I split my time among three schools (Grizzell, Sells, and Davis) as a traveling band teacher, helping mostly with beginning band.

I am a graduate of Ohio Northern University (BM) and The Ohio State University (MA), and I continue to play trumpet in various community bands and churches.  I also direct the Dublin Wind Symphony, where many Dublin alumni continue to play their instruments.

My wife, Kris, is a retired music teacher, and we make our home in Westerville with our dogs, Hadley and Andi.
