I am a teacher that enjoys what I teach. I love math and physics. It is fun to come to school every day, because I get to tell everyone about my two favorite subjects. Outside of school, I am married and have two children. I enjoy golf and bowling (two physics dominated sports).

Having recently graduated from Grand Valley State University I am excited for the opportunity to work at West Catholic.  I look forward to getting to know the students, staff, and parents as I begin my first year here at West.  In addition to teaching at West Catholic I also coach football.

Science of all kinds has always been my primary interest, but chemistry is by far my favorite. My goal in the classroom is to “infect” my students with my enthusiasm for the subject. I thoroughly enjoy working with my colleagues in the science department – the best team of science teachers in West Michigan and beyond!
