Students with last names A-G and Thrive Program
This is my 6th year as a school counselor at LCHS. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and earned my BA in business at Trinity International while playing football and baseball. Ten years later I returned to school for my Masters in Mental Health Counseling a TIU. After four years working in private practice mental health in Wheaton, IL, I returned to school again for my School Counseling Certificate from Northern Illinois University. I have been working with high school age students in some capacity for nearly 15 years now. Prior to moving to the Peoria area I was involved in a Men’s baseball league in which I had an over .400 batting average over 8 years. Outside of school I do some private practice counseling, love to spend time outside with my family, enjoy various sporting events and cooking. I truly believe that it takes a village to raise a child and I am excited about being a part of this community. I look forward to working with students and their families to help them figure out what success looks like and how to get there.

Hello! This is my second year at Limestone Community High School and I’m excited to be here! I grew up about an hour north of Bartonville/Peoria. After high school, I attended Bradley University. I did my student teaching at John Marshall Metropolitan High School in Chicago and began coaching at the same time. I taught English and coached various sports at Benito Juarez Community Academy in the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago for 3 years. While teaching, I always felt pulled toward making deeper connections with students and helping them through the big things in life. My wife and I moved from Chicago to Texas, where we lived for 4 years. I earned my MS in Counseling (School) from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi. We returned to the Peoria area to be closer to family and friends. I worked at East Peoria Central Junior High School in a hybrid school/mental health counselor and coached baseball and basketball for 2 years. Most recently, I worked as School Counselor at Roanoke-Benson High School for the last 7 years. My family and I try to stay involved in many things and try to give back to our community. Similarly, I hope to bring what I can to benefit the LCHS community as a School Counselor and more.

I have been at LCHS for 6 years and I am the THRIVE and APEX Coordinator. I have a very unique background that has led me to my current position. I have worked with students for the last 25 years at a variety of different levels including youth education, drug prevention, counseling and coaching.
