Learn it Up

I first taught 6th grade in Utah. When I moved to Georgia, I was placed in 1st grade - a radical transition - but it was a powerful learning experience and worlds of fun. I was later given the opportunity to teach 5th grade. After moving back to Colorado, I took a position teaching 4th grade for several years. I love working with and helping teachers, so I switched gears and took an instructional coach position. This has been my absolute favorite gig - working with teachers, but still getting to be in the classroom and see the kids learn and smile.

I love to teach students how to think. Once they know how to think, there are endless opportunities. I am also a firm believer in finding ways to make learning fun - incorporating games, projects, collaboration and anything else that pulls in the kids.

I was selected to be on the Fulton County Technology Leadership Forum. After going through extensive training, I was able to present at our county's technology fare. I also served on our school's Governance Council and may other school and district leadership committees.

I did my k-12 schooling in Fort Collins, CO. After graduating, I studied at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. After floating around through about 5 different majors, I finally found my calling in Elementary Education.

I am married to a wonderful wife, and in I have four adorable children. I love to read, build things and basically anything outdoors.
