I am a Missoula native and I am in my seventh year of teaching at C.S. Porter. I love teaching at Porter! We have fantastic students and an amazing staff! I received my undergraduate degrees in Communications and Public Relations from Carroll College in 2001. That degree took me to a variety of places and occupations. While working in the insurance industry, I realized I was being called to education. I returned to school and received a Master’s Degree from the University of Montana in Curriculum and Instruction in 2015. After teaching in Wyoming for a couple of years, we returned to Missoula. I am married to a wonderful and supporting spouse, who is also a teacher in the district. We have three boys (10, 9, & 5) that keep us on our toes and energize our lives. I am an enormous sports fan and enjoy going on a good hike or playing a round of golf.
