PERSONAL INFORMATION:

I was born and raised here in Vancouver, Washington (right down the street actually). Please don’t hold it against me, but yes I graduated from River in 1997. Since then, my life has taken me from Rexburg, Idaho to Lima, Peru in South America. My passion is working with youth, and I am ecstatic to be a fellow “Storm” here at Skyview High School. When not counseling at school, I’m working with youth via my church, the Boy Scouts, and through coaching various sports. I also love playing sports, especially tennis, basketball, golf, and volleyball. I’m also an avid runner, hiker, biker, and climber. I love reading, traveling, watching movies (even chick flicks), listening to music, karaoke, playing video games, and hanging with my wife Stephanie who is an elementary school teacher. I am so excited to be here and can’t wait to get to know all of you. Go Storm!!
