Hobbies
I am a father of four children ranging from high school to preschool. From British Columbia, Canada, we naturally enjoy the outdoors and a continued fascination with the world and everything in it and around it. Before I began my teaching career I spent many years volunteering with community youth organizations where I coordinated regular activities on a variety of scales. While my specialty is the humanities and I will always have a special place in my heart for stories and literature, I am also a generalist and I am continually interested in how different disciplines are connected how those connections can help our learning. My classrooms are characterized by a sense of community and curiosity where questions are welcomed and encouraged. Above all, I wish for my students to have the confidence to succeed both academically as well as in life.
