What inspired you to be a teacher?

His family was his inspiration for becoming a teacher. His mother taught special education and fourth grade for 41 years in the Fort Zumwalt school district and his father is an electrical engineer. Being a science teacher seemed to make sense!

How long have you been teaching?

This is his sixth year teaching. All have been at Winfield High School.

What was your most memorable thing about high school and college?

Most memorable thing from high school would have to be playing marching tenors for his high school marching band and winning best percussion at several competitions. From college, he would say being at the Mizzou football game against Kansas when Kansas was ranked 3rd and Mizzou was 2nd in the nation (Mizzou won…it was awesome!).
