I grew up in the area on the Gasconade River.  I have taught World History, American History, Government, English I - IV, dual credit English among many other courses.  I have coached a variety of activities, such as speech and debate, tennis, jr. high and varsity basketball.  I began as a substitute teacher in 1998 and began full-time teaching in 2002.  I enjoy a multitude of hobbies, such as gardening, hiking, fishing, music, baking, woodworking, and more.   I look forward to another wonderful year in education.
