Background:

I am a double graduate of Lewis University where I received a Bachelor's Degree in History, a minor in Secondary Education and a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership.  I have worked  in the math deperatment at RHS since 2013 and am currently entering my second year in with Mrs. Streit n English. 

Classroom Philosophy:

I treat my students as I expect my children are treated in school.  I believe in structured settings and adherence to classroom rules, while also teaching and modeling soft skills like empathy, compassion and ownership.  If I can help mold a classroom into a safe and fun environment where students feel comfortable pushing their themselves; then I will consider my mission accomplished!

Fun Fact: I am the Vice President of the Valley View Teacher's Union.  I believe in our teachers and believe supporting them to the greatest extent possible ultimately benifiets the educational experience of our students.

Family

My wife is a kindergarten teacher in the Valley View School District.  We have a 3 year old daughter and a 3 month old son.
