My Short Personal Bio: My wife, Emily, and I have two kids - Quinn, age 17, and Merra, 15.
I grew up outside of Portland, attended the University of Oregon and am a big DUCK fan. I received my Masters in Teaching from Pacific University and then began teaching at the middle school level before teaching 4th grade at Yujin Gakuen for 5 years. I taught 3rd grade here at Gilham before moving to 5th grade, my favorite. My hobbies are Gracie Jiu Jitsu (train at McKenzie Martial Arts), rock hounding, kayak fishing, photography, reading, camping, mountain biking and watching my children play soccer. I also love coffee, Cafe Yumm, and trips to Jerry's Home Improvement! Although things will be different from past years I'm confident we'll work through obstacles and have a great year. I look forward to getting to know you and your child. My goal is to work in partnership with you to ensure a successful year. I will continue to keep you informed about what we’re doing this year through emails, and phone calls. If you would like to discuss or address an important issue please email and set up a time with me. I am available by phone, e-mail, or by Zoom. |
