About Me

Wow, thanks for taking the time to look at my blog!  I had a sit down with a student for an interview recently, you can find a bit of the dialogue below.

Student: So, tell me a little bit about yourself...

I've had the honor of teaching history for about 10 years now.  When I'm not in my classroom you can find me sitting at a local coffee shop, hanging with my family or playing basketball. I have been blessed with a gorgeous wife and three beautiful children.

Student: When did you know you wanted to become a teacher?

Each grade I was in since first grade, I thought I wanted to teach that grade.  After college I realized I loved History so I narrowed it down to teaching that subject in the middle and high school grades.

Student:  What are five "must-see" history movies that you would recommend to me?

There are too many, but I'd say watch:  Saving Private Ryan, Forest Gump, Last of the Mohicans, Dr. Strangelove, Gladiator, Schindler's List, Band of Brothers, and if you have time, watch a few episodes of Downton Abbey.. hahah.

Student: Your class was one of my favorite classes, why do you think that is?

Well, history is really just a bunch of stories, so it should be fun.  I try to make sure each assignment is both challenging and relevant. If I'm able to connect topics to things that students already know about, it's easy to keep them engaged.
