 I'm the Science and Social Studies teacher for  8th grade at TCMS.  I have a wide range of experiences from manufacturing to military that will help Science and Social Studies come to life.  A little about me: my wife and I have two daughters and no pets!!  I love sports, building things out of wood, and reading Puritan literature.

I love reading. It’s my passion, and I hope I can help you learn to love it too!  We will focus on i-Ready and Ready lessons while incorporating novels as we go through the school year.
