What I strive to teach students

I strive to teach my students how to use evidence to form opinions; to recognize when they need help and how to ask for it; and how to lose themselves in the world a storyteller creates. Oh yeah—grammar, too!

School Activities

Coaching FLL robotics, rock climbing, indoor soccer, and flag football; performing in the faculty talentless show; teaching filmmaking

Personal Interests

Running, hiking, camping, rock climbing, basketball, movies, reading, aquascaping, and time with family

What I love about SRS

I love the sense of belonging when I show up for work every day. When you become a member of Shaker Road School, whether as a student, an employee, or a parent, you belong to a community that welcomes you, supports you, and challenges you to be your best self.

Favorite SRS Tradition

Middle School Winter Olympics!
