Born in South Carolina, I've lived in Florida, Paraguay, Maryland, Oregon, Alaska, and of course, Montana. I earned a BA in Zoology from the University of Montana in 1990, then earned my teaching credential in 1996, and finally a Master's Degree in Geoscience Education in 2014. I've been teaching Earth Science and other science courses at Sentinel High School since 2002. I am married, with two supremely delightful teenage daughters. When not teaching, grading papers, or being harassed by my daughters, I keep busy biking, running, hunting, fishing, picking hucks or walking our dogs.
