Hello,

I am so excited to be at the Harbor Learning Center teaching Social Studies, and as an advisor for Grays Harbor Academy. 

This has been a dream of mine to become a history teacher since I was in middle school. If I am not learning or teaching history, you can find me building and painting models or playing board games. Traveling and seeing every aspect of this world is an ongoing passion of mine. Fifty countries is roughly my count now, and I can't wait to add to my experiences.  

-Grew up and went to school in Elma. 

-Twelve years in the United States Marine Corps as an Infantry Platoon Sergeant (0369) (Staff Sergeant). 

-Former PADI and SDI SCUBA Instructor. 

-Graduated at Saint Martin's University with a Bachelor's in History and Master's in Education. 

-Counselor and Educator at Green Hill School. 

Some of my favorites:

Best type of dog (Old English Bulldog) especially ones named Kona. 

Food: Pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms.

Coolest place I have ever seen: Toss up between Prague, Czech Republic during the winter or in the water near Cairns, Australia.

Best Christmas movie: Die Hard

Mountains I have summited: 3
