I was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I graduate from Western Michigan University in 1999 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I also have a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. My family and I moved to Jacksonville in June of 2016. My wife, Karen, and I have been married for 16 years and we have two children. Alexis is 13 and is a 9th grader and Samuel is 9 and is in the 5th grade.
I have been teaching for 18 years and have enjoyed the many relationships I have established with the students and families in the districts in which I have worked. Overall, I have 13 years of experience as a 5th grade teacher, two years of middle school teaching experience and I taught 2nd grade for three years.
In my free time I enjoy watching sports, playing golf, and spending time with my family. I also enjoy going to concerts and traveling. I am a big University of Michigan football fan, Miami Dolphins fan (I like the Jaguars too) and am one of those crazy die-hard Chicago Cubs fans. 2016 World Series Champs!!!! I am also a real estate agent on the side.
I have very high expectations for all of my students and work very hard to make sure I am providing them with the best learning experiences that I can. If you ever have questions or concerns, please feel free to call me or email me and I will be sure to get back with you as soon as I can.
Once again, I look forward to having a great year!
Thank you!
