Technology Education Department Website

I am a Technology Education Instructor at Shakopee West Middle School. I have been an instructor for Industrial/Technology Education and Project Lead the way since 1991. I enjoy teaching students hands-on skills and the understandings and technology that is used to develop those skills.

I firmly believe that "All" students can learn and offer instruction differentiated to the needs of the student. 

SEEF Grant

 In the 2018-19 school year the West Technology Education and Engineering Department was the recipient of a grant from SEEF. The goal was to provide students in Teen Engineer class with training and experience in designing full color graphics for use in sublimation printing. The students made coffee mugs with graphic design work of the students creation. Thanks to SEEF for supporting this initiative. This activity is now embedded into  the Teen Engineer curriculum and all 7th graders create this take home project.
