I grew up in Cheney and graduated from CHS in 2002. After that I went to school in Gunnison, Colorado at Western State College for three years before transferring and graduating from Western Washington University in 2007 with a B.S. in Computer Science. Running brought me to Colorado and it was a great time meeting people from all around the world and traveling with the team across the U.S. not to mention being part of the team when they won the National Championship twice. So how did I end up in education? Well once back in Cheney I started by volunteering with the cross country team and my old coach. And it just happened that the assistant coach was retiring after that year so I was hired on for cross country and also as distance coach for track. With this new connection with the kids I really have enjoyed the last three years and during this time decided to go back to school through the MIT program at EWU. This last spring I did my student teaching at Reardan High School while still coaching at Cheney and it was a very demanding but rewarding quarter with successes at both places. All I have left is to present my project on Standards-Based Learning and finish my last math course necessary for a secondary mathematics endorsement for the state of Washington and I will be ready to take over my own classroom and continue to coach somewhere.
