I have been a teacher at West since January of 1999. I teach Social Dance, Dance 1, and Dance 2. I also teach reading intervention classes here at West. I love how diverse West is and the wide range of students I get to work with every day. I truly enjoy the relationships I build with students every year. In my free time I love to read, and hang out with my family and dogs at the beach

The best part of being a physical education teacher is the daily enjoyment of seeing young people grow and develop their skills so they will have a long life of physical activity. I spend much of my free time playing doubles beach volleyball with my wife as my partner. I also love to go out to eat and would do that every night of the week if I could.
