I came to Gabe's in 2008 before you were even born!  I teach ELA (Writing and Literature) and have for that entire time at Gabe's.  I have 2 kids, a Sophomore at Notre Dame (a 2024 Gabes Grad), Chase, and a 3rd grader named Gus.  I also have four cats, Boo, Duck, Oreo, and Binx,  who make as many messes as the kids do.  I love sports, and on Fall Saturdays, you will find me happily cheering on the MU Tigers at Farout Field or around Columbia, MO.  My family also enjoys the STL sports scene and enjoys the Cardinals and Blues as well. 

Before you start asking the question "Where'd you go to high school," I am not from this area.  I am from a small town named Fulton, MO which is about 30 minutes from Columbia.  This is why my favorite team is MU--I was born and raised there.  Since you're likely still thinking it--I went to Fulton High School (which is a public school in my hometown).  Growing up in K-8, I attended Columbia Catholic School which is a lot like St. Gabriel. 

I have my Bachelor's Degree from Westminster College and my Master's Degree from University of Missouri-Columbia. I am certified in Missouri grades 5-12 ELA.

My birthday this year is September 6, 2025.
