Hello! Welcome to Physical Education and Wellness Health. I look forward to the new year and learning new ideas and remembering fundamental lessons right along with all the wonderful students at St. Anthony. This is the start of my second year at St. Anthony as I came over from St. Paul where I spent four years teaching History, Reading and Writing, as well as PE/Health. Prior to that, I spent 16 years in the Tahoma and Kent school districts teaching PE/Health and Reading as well as 10 years working with special populations at the Seattle Department of Parks & Recreation.

 

I received my BA from the University of Washington in Speech Communications and Drama and my Teaching Certificate and Physical Education Health endorsement from City University. What I love about teaching is seeing the growth of the students every year and their enthusiasm to learn. I live in Kent with my wife and we love to hear from our two boys about their daily and weekly struggles and stories about becoming Doctors of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine.
