Born and raised in the Wood River Valley, I attended Hemingway Elementary! After graduating from Santa Clara University, I took my first teaching position at Wood River High School. After teaching in Blaine County for three years, I moved to São Paulo Brazil to where I taught middle and high school social studies in an international school. After teaching in Brazil, I moved to Switzerland to teach middle and high school at the International School of Basel in Northern Switzerland. During this time in Basel, I was married and my two children were born. My wife and I are pleased to be in the Wood River Valley permanently and I am looking forward to teaching at EHSS.
