Background information about self: Married to Tina for 41 years. She is a recently retired kindergarten teacher from D-11. We met in Montrose, Colorado, and have two grown children – a son and a daughter. While in Montrose, CO, I served five years at Woodgate Christian School and eleven years in Montrose County Schools Re-1J. The balance of my career has been in the Pikes Peak Region with ten years in Colorado Springs D-11, five years with Hanover D-28, and eleven years now at St. Paul since retiring from public education. Throughout my 42-year career, I have taught regular classroom, technology/STEM specials classes, been a Coordinator of Information Technology, and also served as an assistant principal and school principal. At the end of the 2021-22 school year, I will be retiring for good. With heartfelt gratitude, I must say that working with the wonderful students, staff, and community of SPCS has been an unexpected and delightful experience that I will forever cherish.
