I am thrilled to join the West Ridge Middle School community after spending the last three years working at a local Charter Middle School helping students with a range of abilities. Prior to that experience, I spent time working in Life Skills classrooms, both in elementary and middle school settings. I received my undergraduate degree in Recreation and Leisure Studies from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and my Masters degree and teaching certification in Special Education from Texas State University.
My wife, Amy, and I have two children. Eli is 6 yrs. old and Maya is 3 yrs old. We enjoy going to parks with our dog Lola, dancing to Disney songs, and going to see movies together. When I am not spending time with my family or teaching, I enjoy being outdoors, playing Disc Golf and hiking Austin's many trails.
I look forward to supporting my students this year and making lasting memories for us to share!
