I believe that all students have a desire to learn and to be respected. I also believe that students learn at different rates and in different ways. My role as a teacher is to create a safe and loving environment where students feel valued and are encouraged to learn to the best of their ability.

I was born and raised in Sitka, Alaska. After graduating in 2014, I attended Walla Walla University, where I played basketball for four years while earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. Following graduation, God led me to the public school system, where I taught 5th grade for five years in Milton-Freewater. In 2024, I was blessed with the opportunity to join the Rogers Adventist School family.

I am married to my wonderful wife, Anita, and together we have a beautiful daughter, Abigail. We feel truly blessed to be part of this community!
