This will be my first year teaching in the Blue Valley School District. I have spent the previous five years teaching and coaching at Lawrence High School. I am excited to be a part of such a high achieving school like Blue Valley North! Few schools can match the excellence of the students and faculty at BVN. Prior to LHS, I spent three years coaching baseball and teaching at Garden City Community College in Garden City, KS. Before that I taught one year at West Junior High School here in Lawrence. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first seven years in education and am excited to be in a great district with wonderful people and kids.
I graduated from KU in 2006 with a Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education History/Government. After that I obtained my Master's Degree in Curriculum & Instruction through KU in 2008. I'm a Jayhawk through and through. There is no better place to be a student and go to school!
I have been married to my wife Abby for seven years. We met at KU and she is in education as well. Our two children Lyla (2 yrs) and Luke (4 months) keep us very busy.
