I am entering my 16^th year teaching at CS Porter. I have taught 11 years in 7th grade and four years in 8th grade.  Ms. Eisenzimer and I are looping with classes, which means this year I am looping back to 7th grade and will follow this class through their 8th grade year.  I was born and raised in Missoula, lived in Seattle and Boise before moving back to Missoula. I am blessed with my beautiful wife Sandy and three kids, Lauren, Jacob, and Josh. I currently teach four sections of Math and one section of Health/PE. In my spare time I love spending time with my family, playing and listening to music, soccer, skiing, boating, and working on our cabin.
