Bio: I’m a graduate of Eastern Washington University. I spent the years after college trying my hand at many different jobs. Several years ago I decided I wanted to work in education. Here at Laurin Middle School, I teach fifth-grade English Language Arts and History. I enjoy helping fifth-graders learn to be independent and succeed. When I’m not working, I enjoying reading, cooking, exploring the outdoors, working in the yard, and spending time with my wife and our one-year-old son.
