2010-2011 Residency Completing residency at Cole Arts & Science Academy, Primary Special Education
I grew up in New Berlin, Wisconsin and graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee. Colorado has been home for the past 22 years. I am a husband and father of two wonderful children, 8 and 5. Together we njoy activities as a family, long bike rides, xeric gardening, cooking, and golf. Prior to joining the Denver Teacher Residency I was a Sales Representative with two pharmaceutical companies, an airline pilot, and a Naval Aviator.
I heard about DTR from a friend who is a retired Denver Public Schools teacher. I chose DTR because I wanted to help students by being an effective teacher and I believe that the education and one year residency I’m receiving through DTR will build the foundation for my and my students’ success.
