Profile
I am very excited to be part of all that Westgate school has to offer this year! I am a University of Dayton graduate and studied middle childhood education Language Arts and Science. Since graduating, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of educational settings and with a broad spectrum of student populations. This will be my second year teaching Physical Education full time and I am very excited!
In my free time, I enjoy hanging with my wife and dog, going on hikes, skiing, playing competitive softball and soccer, fishing and fly tying, and kayaking.

Week 1-2
It was so great to see most everyone at the Fun Run! We have some future cross country stars in the making here at Westgate. Maybe I should have you guys do more running in PE :).
It was a great week in PE here at Westgate Community School. These students are working hard and breaking a sweat each class period. I am very proud of the effort I have seen on Workout Wednesdays. Keep it up.
Remember that pretty much every workout station we do in PE can be replicated at home, there is little to no equipment required, and you can get a full body workout in in under 20 minutes. Email me if you would like a copy of the exercises for your own reference.
We are trying to get a #FitwithFamily board going and filled with pictures of our students having fun being active. Please send in pictures of the students having fun being active. Anything from walking the dog around the block to playing in the swimming pool to Karate Class. The goal is to get the students to recognize the different ways you can be active and how fun it can be!
Week 3
Thank you to all the students who were of help to the Substitute teachers Tuesday and Wednesday! I really appreciate it and it says a lot about the character of the students here at Westgate.
Please continue to send in #FitwithFamily photos for our bulletin board..It is looking rather scarce. I know everyone is active outside of school and I would like us to be able to share the ways that we are active with one another.
Also, please email me if you have any 'gently used' or unused workout equipment. We are always looking to add new workouts to our Workout Wednesday training circuit. We are looking for jump ropes, medicine ball, therapy balls, ankle weights, free weights, weighted vests, etc. Please shoot me an email if you have anything you are willing to donate.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Week 2- Aug 14th-18th
What a great week we had last week! It was so great to get to know everyone and see everyone moving around and working hard. Let's carry that momentum into this upcoming week and continue to work towards our fitness goals!
I wanted to let everyone know that we will be putting together a #FitwithFamily bulletin board up in the gym. I encourage you to send in pictures of the family being fit and exercising together. Anything from swimming in the pool to walking the dog around the block.
The goal is to raise everyones awareness as to the many ways that people exercise and how fun exercise can be!
Please send in pictures and lets get this board started! I will post updates of the board once we get it going.
Have a wonderful week!
