Classroom Philosophy: 

I encourage a respectful, orderly and challenging classroom environment.  Student ideas, inquiry and investigation (asking questions) are encouraged greatly. I believe our class can have a good combination of open discussion, structured lecture, hands-on activities and investigative lessons that ensures a well rounded educational experience.  I believe there is no substitute for good attendance, daily classroom work, studying time and a positive attitude.  I try to use a multi-media approach when presenting information to students so they can find at least one way to learn it. 

 

Family:  I have been married for 20 wonderful years and have four terrific children

(1 girl and 3 boys).

 

Other Job:  I spend most of my summer and some other times during the school year teaching Drivers Education courses at Orchard View Schools.

 

Away from school:  I enjoy watching my children participate in many sport team seasons.  I also enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, hunting, fishing and metal detecting.
