This will be my 15th year teaching and my 5th year in Gainesville. Before coming to Gainesville, I taught in Boyd for 9 years, spending 4 years in 2nd grade, 3 years in 3rd grade and 2 years out of the classroom as an Instructional Technologist/ESL Coordinator/Math Interventionist. I also taught 4th grade for 1 year in Keene. This will be my first year teaching solely Special Education, but I have worked with Special Education students every year I have taught. I have been married to my amazing wife Rachel for 16 years and we have 2 children. Our daughter, Addysan, is 14 and will be in 9th grade at GHS and our son, Aidan, is 8 and will be in 3rd grade at Chalmers. I am excited about getting a new school year started! Your child's education and safety are my first priorities.
