I am graduate of Bad Axe High School (2021) and Ferris State University (2025) where I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Studies Education. I started teaching at Harbor Beach in December of 2025 and am excited to start my first full year in the classroom.
My teaching style includes a lot of discussion about historical topics. I encourage students to add in their own thoughts during class whenever they can. We try to find ways to connect the past to the present, and learn how we can prepare ourselves for the future. I love to hear new perspectives from students and broaden my own world view while we are in class, and I encourage students to keep an open mind to others opinions and perspectives while in class.
Outside of the classroom, I spend my free time traveling, golfing, officiating sports (soccer, football, and hockey) playing hockey, and coaching baseball. I also love spending time with my family and our dog, Reno.
Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with any questions, comments, or concerns.
