A Little About Me

Snowboarding at Winter Park, CO

I am currently a teacher at Platte Valley Youth Services in Greeley, CO. I student taught at Chappelow Arts and Literacy K-8 Magnet School and graduated in May 2008 with a K-12 physical education certification. I have always enjoyed participating in sports and physical activities, and now I am enjoying spreading those interests and helping students learn the benefits of being active. Below is a brief timeline of my awesome life starting with when I was born.
