Begin your journey by visiting my classroom via photographs of the students' surroundings. I strive to bring my personal interests and life experiences into the classroom to serve as inspiration and conversation starters.

Next, please peruse my teaching beliefs in my portfolio and resume sections. Here you will find a short synopsis of what I base my teaching methods on, my foundational thoughts on learning, and how I have been brought to teaching high school students in my own life's journey.
Finally, and most importantly, please visit the Showcase of Student Work to view past and present students' work in their time with me as their instructor. You will be entertained and inspired by the work created in a room populated by such a diverse group of learners. These examples of what is created in our class are simply amazing.

My passions include many things, but BMX Freestyle was something which helped me grow up and be the person I am today. Here's to all the "Old School" Freestylers and BMX'ers out there.
Haro and GT bikes are my favorite brands, and to this day, I continue to incorporate bikes into my life and teaching whenever possible.
