Hello, this will be my first year at Otto MS, and my 21st overall in education. I have an extensive background in both education and other real world experiences. This will be my 8th year teaching 8th grade science; 6 years at 7th grade science, 1 year at 6th grade science, 1 year Biology, 3 years at Chemistry, and 1 year of Physics. I was also a firefighter/paramedic for 7 years and camp counselor for 11 summers. I have 1 son who is a senior at Texas Tech and 1 daughter that is a junior at Rockwall High School. I have a step-son that is a senior at Texas Tech as well, and a step-daughter that is a meterologist for Fox 23 in Tulsa. Mary is my better half for 5 years now, and we have 4 dogs and 1 cat. We love to dance, cook and work on projects around the house. I will also be coaching football, basketball and track. I look forward to serving your children this school year. GO Bobcats!!
