I have been with the district for about 12 years. My undergraduate degree is in Theater Arts from Benedictine College and I have my Masters Degree in Special Education from Fontbonne University. In addition, my teaching certification is in Early Childhood, Early Childhood Special Education, and Speech and Theater. Most of my life has been spent in St Louis, which I love. I am married to a wonderful man my students know as “Mr. Erin” who is a middle school teacher. We have three beautiful daughters, who keep our lives interesting.

Known to the children of Julia Goldstein as "Mr. Jimmie" I have been on staff at JGECEC for 8 years. I have been working in education for 28 years. I earned a business degree at Jarvis Christian College in Hawkins, Texas. I am a professional landscaper. I love working with children. The best part of my job is when they learn something new! This is the highlight of my day, along with cracking a few jokes here and there with my co-workers.
