The 2019-2020 school year will be my 17th year of teaching and my 10th year at Southwest Middle. In addition to teaching, I also coach football at South High. I am originally from Cleveland, OH, and have also lived just outside of New York City & Washington D.C. before moving to St. Louis in 2009. My wife, Emmy, and I have been married 12 years. She is a teacher at South High School. We have a 7 year old daughter named Cayden and a 5 year old son named Grayson.
This school year is my 23rd year of teaching and my 20th here at Southwest Middle. In my early teaching days, I also taught ELA. My husband, Mike and I have been married for 21 years. Our oldest, Ben is 17 and a senior in high school. We also have two daughters. Kara is 14 and is beginning her high school career this year. Eight year old Melody is in 3rd grade. In my spare time, I can usually be found on the sidelines of a volleyball court, a soccer field or in the audience of a play (all of which are supporting my kids in their activities!)
