This is my SECOND year as a Blazer and I am excited to be here, teaching PE and Health!!!
I have a degree in Political Science from the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) and a Masters degree in Education Technology from Grand Canyon University. I have been coaching at various levels for 32 years; from youth baseball and soccer, to high school fastpitch, volleyball, golf, and beyond. I am really into playing golf, reading, and doing basically anything outside.  I have been teaching mainly Social Studies in the North Thurston School District for the past 19 years, and have been looking forward to the opportunity to find a home in PE for years.
My ultimate goal is to help students learn to value/pursue life long fitness. I also want to teach students how to access and evaluate information; then to think for themselves, and finally to develop the skills they need to become successful contributing members of society.
