Biographical Sketch

Being somewhat shy in high school, I was a little intimidated to meet with my counselor and seek guidance in preparing for college. I went to the local community college and then transferred to a university. It was only then that I realized how many wonderful opportunities college can provide. Motivated by my own experience, I dedicated myself to becoming a school counselor so that I could help guide students through high school and towards the incredible opportunities that lie beyond. I work diligently to make myself accessible to my students so they know I am available to help them when they need it. I have been a counselor since 2014, and a Sabercat since 2019.
​
I spent most of my life in California with the exception of a two-year period from 2003-2005 where I served as a missionary in Northern Colorado. In seeking a new way of life, my wife and our two children returned to Fort Collins in 2019 and we LOVE it! 

Interests and hobbies:
​Playing and coaching volleyball, hiking, most sports, including fantasy baseball and fantasy football, investing, trying new types of food, learning about history (especially World War II) and learning new things.
