With over 20 years of experience in the Marine Corps and now the classroom, I believe in the transformative power of education and mentorship. As a teacher, I strive to create a collaborative and inclusive learning environment where every student feels empowered to reach their full potential. My approach combines innovative teaching methods based on my experience in the Marines with an understanding of diverse learning styles, helping all students find meaning and purpose beyond the classroom.

As a coach, I am committed to fostering growth on and off the field. I focus on developing not just skills, but also resilience, teamwork, and leadership. My coaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of goal-setting, perseverance, and a positive mindset, guiding individuals to achieve their personal best.

As a mentor, I take pride in developing future leaders and helping others navigate their journey in life. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences, providing support and encouragement to embolden individuals to chase their dreams and overcome obstacles.

I am constantly seeking new ways to inspire, connect, and contribute to the growth of others. Feel free to connect with me to discuss ideas, share experiences, or explore opportunities for collaboration!
