The 2023-24 school marks my 10th year of teaching at SFA. Before SFA I was a consulting engineer in the gulf south. I am a Licensed Geologist in both Missouri and Arkansas. I hold BS degrees from the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Geological Engineering, Geology & Geophysics.
I am the SFA STREAM Coordinator. I primarily teach engineering, computer science, and design in the Middle School but I push into all grade levels, as needed.
I am a 2022-23 PLTW Outstanding Gateway Teacher, 1 of 2 in Missouri. I am also a Code.org - CS Discoveries and CS Fundaments trained teacher. I lead our Clavius Project Robotics Team.
I am a proud father of two SFA alums. My wife Paula and I are SFA parishioners. I enjoy hiking, backpacking, and camping with my family. I have a special fondness for flyfishing on clear gravel bottom Missouri Ozark streams.
I truly enjoy the Community aspect of St Francis of Assisi School, from the faculty & staff, the parents, the students, and the many benefactors and volunteers who make this school GO! It is awesome to see students grow in faith and academically through their years here at SFA. I am very proud to be a part of this school community.
