This will be my 21st year working at Kinard and my 20th year in the P.E. department. I have enjoyed incorporating my interest in health and nutrition, my experience as an athlete, and my passion for working with youth into my teaching. I grew up in Glenwood Springs, Colorado and enjoyed competing in basketball, soccer, football, and track throughout high school. I spent my four years of college at CSU on a Track and Field Scholarship where I was able to travel around the US competing in the High, Long and Triple Jump. My beautiful wife Amanda is also a teacher, and we have three amazing sons Noah (Born 3-1-11) and Identical twins, James and Caleb (Born 2-22-14). We have been happily married now for 20 years. Fishing, biking, hiking, rafting, four wheeling, snowmobiling, wake-boarding, and almost anything outdoors are activities I enjoy. I really love living here in Fort Collins.
