I am originally from New England but have been living in Montana since 1991. I graduated from M.S.U. in 2001 and have been teaching at LaMotte School ever since. I presently teach 4th/5th grade but have taught every grade from K-4th at one time or another. I have a lovely wife, four daughters ranging in age from 39 to 21 years old, a granddaughter, and three dogs. In my spare time I like to read, hike or hang out with my family. I have been lucky enough to see a fair share of the country and world and have had quite a varied work history, but I cannot imagine any place I would rather be than here at LaMotte School.
