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.
