I grew up in Pendleton Oregon with my parents Larry and Sally and my brother Joey. I attended Oregon State University (Go Beavs!), earning a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, and received my Master’s of Arts in Teaching from Concordia University.
While working on my Master’s degree in 2007/2008 I had the great fortune to student teach at Corbett Grade School. The following year I had a 4/5 classroom at Dundee Elementary in the Newberg School District. The 2011/2012 school year will be my third year back at Corbett. I’m looking forward to seeing the returning students from last year as well as meeting our new students!
During my free time I enjoy reading, running, golfing, bowling, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends. This summer my wife and I added a rhodesian ridgeback puppy named Dalton to our family!
