Hello! I have been a teacher for many years, but this is my first year at Sweeney. I am so excited about joining this fabulous school community! I live in Shakopee with my wife, 5 kids, and 2 dogs. Outside of school, I enjoy various outdoor activities, including fishing, golfing, and biking. I also enjoy coaching and attending my kids' various sporting events and activities. 

I have taught 3rd, 5th, 6th grade classrooms and, for the past many years, have found true joy in helping multilingual students succeed and build English language proficiency.
