I am so excited to have your child in my classroom for 2009-2010!  I absolutely LOVE teaching and believe that all students should be given the opportunities to succeed,both academically and socially.  In my classroom you will find a fun and stimulating environment that promotes learning, respect, and responsibility.

I have taught P.E. and computers, but have found my true passion teaching 4th grade.  My hobbies include playing basketball, tennis, flag football, jogging, swimming, golf, working out, and spending time with family and friends.  During the fall and winter months, you will find me in Glendale, Arizona, watching my beloved Arizona Cardinals, the defending NFC Champions!!

My wife of 17 years, Kayla, teaches second grade here at Kitty Ward.  We moved to Las Vegas seven years ago from Clovis, New Mexico.  I grew up in Douglas, Wyoming, a small, quiet town.  I have lived in many states since leaving high school including Nebraska, Colorado, California, and New Mexico.

In addition to my teaching duties at Kitty Ward, I have also served in these capacities:

• Grade Level Chair-- 4th Grade (Current)
• President of Kitty Ward Empowerment Team (Current)
• Social Committee Co-Chair
• Student Improvement Team Chair (SIT)
• Member of Foundations Team for School Wide Rules and Procedures (Current)
• 70's POD supply manager (Current)

As you can see, I like to keep myself busy at our wonderful school!
