I grew up in the Midwest, but my heart, soul, and children all know Colorado as home. I have an amazing wife, three beautiful daughters, and one crazy dog.  I love to teach, whether that be in a classroom teaching adults and children alike or on the basketball court where I discovered this passion. I spent most of my working life in corporate management and sales but always felt as though I was missing something.  I’ve accomplished many achievements in corporate America; however, I believe my most important accomplishments are yet to come.  I wholeheartedly believe that teaching is what I was meant to do and I am incredibly excited to be at Friends to start my journey.
