This is my 24th year teaching. I spent my first 17 years of teaching  at Leesburg Elementary where I taught grades 3rd, 4th, and 6th. This is my 7th year at Eisenhower Elementary. I taught 6th grade my first two years at Eisenhower, and this is my fifth year in the  4th Grade DLI program. I received my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University, and my Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Indiana Wesleyan University.

I have four children, three of which attend Eisenhower. My wife's name is Krishna, and she is a former teacher. I really enjoy watching sports, and in the summer I love being outdoors.
