About Mr. B

Let me give you a little background about me...

First, my family is top priority for me.  I am married and have four girls.  We enjoy exercising together, going for walks and camping.  They are simply amazing!  :)

-   I have 25 years of teaching experience and have worked with grades pre-k through 6th grade.  I've taught technology to each of those grades.  I've taught Kindergarten, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades in self-contained classrooms. I've also taught PE for 12 years to grades K-6.

-    I have coached basketball, football, and soccer through Mason Public Schools, Upward Sports, Connect Sports as well as the YMCA.

-   I have degrees from Lansing Community College (Associates), Spring Arbor Universtiy (Bachelor's) and Marygrove College (Master's) as well as an addition 20 credit hours post grad.

-  I've run the sports program for the YMCA summer clubs which included developing (from scratch) the entire structure of the sports program, including training staff, developing lesson plans for the differing activities and great variety of age groups that rotated into our program. 

-  I also designed and ran the YMCA Olympics for the summer clubs at the Oak Park branch.

-  I've been teaching KINETICS now for 12 years and have taught at Elliott, Sycamore, Wilcox and Hope Middle School.  It's been a blast!

-  I played basketball, ran track and played soccer at different points throughout my school career along with all kinds of intramural sports and church league sports.

-  I'm a huge Notre Dame fan and love when fall comes around!

-  Ultimately, I'm very excited to have this opportunity to work with your child in KINETICS!
