Holy Trinity’s tagline is: “Start Here. Go Anywhere.” How do you envision helping students to live this motto?
By teaching children from a young age that they are valuable and can accomplish anything if they work at it.

 

What do you look forward to the most about teaching at Holy Trinity?
Getting to know each of my students and helping them achieve their goals throughout the year.  

 

What is the most important life lesson you want a child to learn in your classroom?
Discipline and hard work pays off. If you want to achieve something important to you, it will not always come easy.

 

What motivated you to become a teacher?
As a child I loved to play sports and just loved being active. I wanted a career that allowed me to work with kids, as well as to have fun. Holy Trinity is special because the children at the Lower School have PE every single day. It allows them to find out what they really enjoy.

 

What do you love about teaching at HT?
I love that I get to see all of the Lower School students every day. The students at Holy Trinity are very fortunate to have Physical Education every day. 

 

What are some of your interests and passions outside of the classroom?
I love to hang out with my wife and two daughters. We like to go to the beach or go swimming. I am very involved in my church throughout the week as well.
