Hello!

I hope everyone found a way to enjoy their summer and some time off! We all certainly deserved it! My family was able to take our yearly fishing trip to Canda that we have been taking since 1948.  We had some of the best fishing we've ever had! Having time away from school always gets my batteries charged back up for the new year. I'm looking forward to working our way back to some normalcy!

This is my twelfth year teaching at Sacred Heart. I teach 6th grade English and 7th grade English and reading. I am in my twelfth year as an assistant football coach at Dowling Catholic where I coach the varsity receivers. I was also the head boys track coach at Dowling Catholic for five years. I live in Waukee with my 4 year old collie, Bailey, who loves daycare and tolerates me!

If you ever have questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Email is the easiest way to touch base. I check emails regulary throughout the day. Otherwise, I'll do my best to respond in the evening.
