I have been teaching mathematics at Hellgate since 1986.  A native of LaMoure, North Dakota, I earned an undergraduate degree from Jamestown College with majors in Mathematics and Biology.  Post-graduate work includes time at the University of North Dakota culminating in a Master’s Degree in Secondary Education Curriculum and Instruction awarded from the University of Montana.  I have taught virtually all courses in the secondary mathematics curriculum and currently teach freshman academy Algebra 1 and Functions, Statistics and Trigonometry.   I am the mathematics department co-chair and a member of the track and field coaching staff.
