I'm very excited to be joining the PEARL team as your new special education teacher! 


I've been an educator since 1997 and have had the privilege of serving in a wide variety of settings / roles.  I feel like the opportunity I'm getting here (in PEARL) is the perfect setting to implement my experience and skills in a dynamic setting and I'm looking forward to getting to work!


I love spending time with my family, which includes my wife (Wendy), our two children (ages 9 and 12), and our dog Kenai.  We like to paddle board, swim, play games, campout and visit friends.  We are currently in the process of starting a new adventure, which includes selling our home, moving to the Chimacum area, and moving into a sweet motorhome.


I am also a musician.  I have been playing drums since 1989 and I love laying down funky grooves.  My newest musical endeavor has been programming analogue synthesizers and recording videos where I play drums to my synthesizer creations.  


I look forward to the year to come!
