A little about me...

I was incredibly blessed to be the fourth child of Allan and Yvonne Cosand, a hard-working and loving couple who raised me on a farm in Southern Oregon. As a little kid, I was an explorer and dreamer and laugher. Growing up in wide open spaces gave me the opportunity to follow my curiosity as I learned and built and created.

Teaching wasn't my first career. I graduated with a degree in Communications and worked for ten years doing graphic design and producing audio and video projects. I came to a point where I wanted more, however, so I went back to school and earned a Masters Degree in Teaching. I have taught at Kennedy Elementary since 2003, working with students in grades 3 through 6.

In my non-school life, I am proud to be the husband of a remarkable and brilliant woman. Shannon is a person of integrity, strength, and hilarity. She is also the incredible Media Tech here at Kennedy!

I am the father of four children...all of whom attended Kennedy. Isaac lives in Southern California and works at Knott's Berry Farm. Abigael is an aesthetician here in Southern Oregon. Elijah is attending college and works at Starbucks. Sophie lives in Southern California and works at Downtown Disney. Shannon and I attend Journey Church and I love singing and playing my guitar as I lead worship.
