I am entering my 17^th year teaching at CS Porter. I have taught 12 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 up to 8th grade after having this group in 7th grade last 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 (we just celebrated 25 years together) and three kids, Lauren, Jacob, and Josh. I currently teach two sections of Math and three section of Health/PE. In my spare time I love spending time with my family, playing and listening to music, hiking, skiing, boating, and working on our cabin.
