I started teaching at AMS in 1985.  I have taught in this district since 1984. My first year of teaching was 3^rd Grade at Garfield School. During the past 36 years I have taught all core subjects.  Currently I teach 7^th Grade Math.

Before attending Wichita State I worked at Cessna Aircraft for three years, While there, I realized the importance of getting a college degree. I then went back to school to get my degree in Elementary Education. Having grown up in Augusta, I was lucky enough to get a job teaching in USD 402.

My wife Kathy and I have been married for 33 years. We have 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren.

My hobbies include playing electric guitar,following the Chiefs, Royals, Shockers, Jayhawks, Bluejays,and Orioles,reading, family time, and spending too much time on the internet.
