I am one of the 8th grade Social Studies teachers at Rossview Middle School. I attended Rossview for middle and high school and after graduation I enlisted and served for a little more than eight years in the United States Marine Corps prior to getting involved in the school system. I got my start working in the school system in Nevada where I was a special education assistant and coached high school baseball and basketball. I was fortunate enough to begin working again as an educational assistant while I completed my college to obtain my degree. I enjoy working with the students in the middle school setting as this is where I feel I am able to make the most influence and teach at my best. I am also the Assistant Athletic Director and Assistant Boy's Basketball Coach for the school. In my free time I am usually outside with my children and my wife in my off time as we enjoy the outdoors. I am ready for a new school year and getting started.
