Hello, my name is James Ringo.

I grew up in Buffalo, NY, and I moved to Oregon in 2010. I lived in Southern Oregon with my wife, Elaine, for 7 years. In 2017, we moved to Portland. I completed my Master's Degree in Teaching at Concordia University in 2018. We have four dogs.

I'm excited to begin my 4th school year at Beatrice Morrow Cannady Elementary and share this year with you. I look forward to working with you this year!

Some important facts about me:

• I love to build things (and take them apart).

• I love to read.

• I'm curious about how things work.

• Family is important to me.

Some fun facts about me:

• My sister and I share the exact same birthday, but she was born 6 years after me.

• I've driven across the United States, taken a train across the United States, and flown across the United States.

• I LOVE dogs.
