I was born November 8, 1963 in Murray, Utah.  Most of my growing-up years were spent in Riverton.  I am the oldest of seven kids.  We are a very close family.  

I graduated from Bingham High School in 1982, and then from BYU in 1988.  I was hired to teach Sixth Grade at Western Hills that same year.  I've been teaching in Room 24 ever since!  

I love reading, making music, hiking, camping, skating, gadgets, computers, and people.  I feel peaceful in the mountains and next to the ocean.  

I have three birds that live with me.  Their names are Paco, Hooper, and Baby. They are wonderful companions and are just like my own kids.  

I have many goals.  One of them is to record and publish my own CD.  I'm working on it!
