I started teaching in 2016. In 2023 I earned my Master of Arts in Teaching from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I have a great appreciation and interest in a variety of art and love sharing my interests with students. Vice versa getting to know each student through their own interests in the art room is one of the many reasons why I love teaching art. My wife and I enjoy spending time finding fun activities for our two children especially trying to fit in as many lake days as possible during the summer!
