I grew up in South County, St. Louis. My wife, Lauren, and I have been married for 6 years. We have two cats, one of whom is 18 years old this year. I enjoy hiking, gardening, and cooking. This is my fifth year teaching art in FFSD. Before joining the family at Lee Hamilton, I taught at Vogt Elementary, my first year. I have also taught part-time for Pattonville and St. Louis Public Schools. I received my Master's degree in teaching from Lindenwood University. I am excited to be a part of the Lee Hamilton family! I enjoy knowing the staff, students, and families involved at our school.
