Welcome to the 2020 - 2021 school year. This year will be my 10th at Timber Creek after teaching at Harmony Elementary for 19 years. While I had thought that I had seen everything, this year has the potential to be like no other. I look for us to be able to work together, communicate , and support each other through the present challenges of Covid. My goals for the students would be to help get them acclimated to being in school, help them get caught up , and make them feel that their classroom is a safe place for them.
My wife and I have have a blended family of 4 boys and 1 girl. Will is the oldest and lives in Seattle where he is completing a 4 year residency program in emergency medicine. Jake just finished his degree in nursing and this fall will begin work in a surgical ICU. Chase and Grant are both headed to the University of Nebraska Lincoln where they will be entering their sophomore and freshmen years. Ella will be entering her sophomore year at Southwest High School. If 5 kids didn't keep us busy enough, we also have 3 dogs and a cat that control things around the house.
I was born in Kentucky and have also lived for periods of time in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Missouri, and Georgia. I claim Kansas as my home as I graduated from Shawnee Mission South and have also raised my family here. Outside of school I work in the yard a lot, enjoy cooking, exploring the city, and attending Sporting Kansas City matches. Through the years I have also volunteered as a sponsor with Boy Scouts, my church, youth soccer, and with various local nonprofits. This summer I volunteered at a local food bank.
We will have to see where this year takes us. Please understand
