I graduated from Indiana State University with a degree in Exercise Science; and a teaching degree in Physical Education (K-12) and Health Education (6-12). I also have my Master’s in Education Administration from Indiana State University. My wife, Megan, and I have a daughter, Cambry. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 I love teaching at WVMS, as I am a 1991 graduate of this great school! I graduated from West Vigo High School in 1995 where I played football, basketball, and baseball. I played basketball and baseball in college and enjoyed every minute of it. I’m currently in my eleventh season as the head baseball coach at West Vigo High School. I’ve also coached boys tennis at WVMS for 3 years, winning the schools first ever county championship. I spent six years coaching the boys soccer team at West Vigo High School as well. I love to coach and work with kids. Teaching and coaching is my true passion in life.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 I love teaching because every day is fun and exciting. The energy and enthusiasm that middle school aged kids have is awesome to be around! At WVMS I teach “Fitness Center” to all grade levels.\u00a0 We spend most of our time in the weight room learning and practicing physical exercises that our students can benefit from for their entire life span.\u00a0When we’re not in the weight room we’re usually outside on the track, in the gymnasium, or doing writing prompts.\u00a0 My goal is to get our students to be as active as possible every day in P.E. class.\u00a0 I believe we have a lack of movement crisis in our country, so we try to keep the kids up and moving as much as possible.\u00a0 I hope my students come to understand the importance of physical exercise and living an active and healthy lifestyle. <\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]
