I am entering my 25th year teaching math. I am excited to be joining the TMS staff as the 8th grade math teacher. Prior to coming to TMS I spent time teaching at Pleasant Hill School and Mossville Jr. High. I earned my teaching degree from Bradley University and a masters degree from Western Illinois. I am happy to be a part of the TMS staff.

I live in East Peoria with my wife and two children- Makenzie (15) and Zayden (8). With all of their activities we are a busy family. From dance competitions to baseball fields we are always on the go. In our free time we enjoy watching movies, playing games, attending concerts, and traveling to St. Pete Beach for the 4th of July.  We also enjoy watching Cubs games! I currently work part time at Hillcrest Golf Course and Escape60.
