I love to work with Alternative Education students. I have had the honor to work with this population for more than twenty years and have learned so much from my students and families. It is very important to me to be able to build relationships and help students overcome barriers to be successful in the classroom and outside the classroom.
I’m excited about educating students about career pathways and how to get them there!
I am excited to be a part of this program where teachers and students work together to make their life and academic goals happen.

I love helping students realize that a non-traditional path is still a path that leads to success.

It gives me joy to serve my community on a daily basis. I’m thankful to work in such a rewarding profession and at a place like Options Academy.
I enjoy working with students and guiding them to be successful in life.
I have been working with Alternative Students for 26 years. I love watching them grow into better versions of themselves and Options is a great place to do that. Graduation is the best day of the year. Our students have so much to offer the world.

Relationships. I have always been a people first kind of guy.
