My Bio

I’ll be beginning my 25^th year of teaching middle and high school mathematics this fall (2022).   Taught high school mathematics in Montana at Chinook High School for twenty-one years. 

After retiring and moving to Colorado, I found that I missed the classroom so I found a position at Prospect Ridge Academy in Broomfield.  That was my first experience in a public-charter school, and I really admired the level of excellence that was expected.  

My wife’s career brought us to Gilbert, and I was hired mid-year here at San Tan.  I have enjoyed it here, and have been impressed by many of the same characteristics that struck me about my school in Colorado.
