This is my 12th year teaching at Waterloo Jr. High. I will be teaching 6th grade math. I earned my Bachelors degree in elementary education from SIUE. Along with teaching, I am the assistant Jr. High softball coach. I grew up in Belleville, IL and still live there today with my wife, Liz, my kids, Eliza and Carson, and our dog Lehra. In my free time I like to spend time with my family and friends. Some of my favorite hobbies are watching or playing sports and doing things in the outdoors, such as fishing and deer hunting.
