“Before teaching, I was in service for four years. I was a Marine, and once I was done with that I worked to transition back into everyday life.”

“I lived and taught in Bakersfield California, and teaching there was significantly different. The demographics were the most prominent differences, and students were primarily minority groups from middle to lower class. Socioeconomically and ethnically Wilsonville is very different.”

“I started coaching basketball back home in Bakersfield, where I was coaching jv boys and I wanted to continue that on at Wilsonville. I’m really happy I got to help out with the freshman team here.” “Obviously, I also love my dogs, star wars, and hiking. That’s one of the amazing parts of Oregon, the landscape.”
