Proudest Teaching Moment

Bringing students up to Grand Traverse Bay to sail on the Alliance. I really appreciate when I can share my love of history and my love of science with students.

Why do you love teaching at Holy Redeemer?

The students are kind and faith filled. The parents, staff and volunteers all really care about bringing their best each day. Holy Redeemer students care about each other and are willing to help each other. The announcements every morning help set a tone for faith, scholarship, Catholic discipleship, lifelong learning, and service to others.

Awards/Accomplishments

I really enjoy crossing paths with former students who remember something they learned in my classroom or one of my corny "Dad" jokes or puns. The favorite field trips I have put together over the years are the ones where students develop a better sense of themselves, history, and their place in God's world.
