This is my 20th year teaching for the PEAK Gifted & Talented Program, and my 27th year with Helena Public Schools overall. I absolutely love sharing unique learning experiences with students of all ages, and look forward to a great year with PEAK students. New this year, I’ll be at Rossiter School working with PEAK students in grades 4 and 5, HMS for grades 6 and 7, and all over the place with grades 8-12! Please see the Schedule link to the left for details.
On evenings and weekends, you can find me playing drums in various local bands (rock and jazz music). I also love Star Wars (old and new), tropical fish, great foods of all kinds, and hanging out with my family.
