I was born in Washington State, grew up in Northern California, and started my teaching career in Oklahoma. My wife and I have a son and daughter who both graduated from Friday Harbor High School. For the last 24 years, I have had the privilege of teaching Visual Art at the secondary level. I have been the Art teacher at Friday Harbor High School since 2009. I currently teach 2D Beginning and Intermediate Art, 3D Beginning and Intermediate Art, Studio Art, and AP Art and Design 3D, 2D, and Drawing.
