ABOUT ME!!!

I am incredibly excited to be your Art Teacher at Timber Trail Elementary!!!!!

My path to become an Art Teacher has been crazy to say the least. As a child, I spent my summers with my grandmother who fostered my interest in art from a very young age. I learned knitting, crochet, macrame, oil painting, acrylic painting, and ceramics just to name a few areas of art I explored. I have always had a passion for art...and by third grade I had decided I would become a dentist because in my mind as a child it seemed like a logical extension of art.

Flash forward 29 years later as a dentist in the United States Air Force and then my own private practice and here I am living my dream!

My wife has been a middle school teacher for 24 years. Together with our two fur babies we love everything Colorado has to offer...hiking, camping, biking, and skiing. In my free time, I enjoy throwing pottery, painting, and watercolor.

I am thrilled to share my lifelong passion for art with all of you!

You can change the world with your own two hands...Art comes from the heart!!!!!!
