I began working at St. Stephen in 2021. I am currently the 7th grade homeroom teacher and teach math and literature to Grades 6-8.

I earned a bachelor's degree in middle school education (certified in math, science, and social studies) from the University of Missouri-St. Louis; a master's in education from National Louis University, and am certified in gifted education from Lindenwood University.

When I'm not working I love to watch sports, ride my bike, and spend time with my grandkids.

I married my wife, Linda, in 1986. We have three grown children who are married and gone ... yes! I have four grandkids, the oldest being seven years old.

Favorite book: Dr. John's Bathroom Reader. There is all kinds of useless but interesting stuff in there.

Favorite movie: Remember the Titans, The Hunt for Red October, Top Gun Maverick

Favorite song: Anything by Casting Crowns or Mercy Me

Bonus: I cannot wait for the fifth season of "Yellowstone" to come out this November.
