After teaching middle school math for 16 years (half of those here at CCDS), I am so thrilled to return to Chico Country Day School as Middle School Dean.  I love working with middle school students. Their curiosity, energy, and sense of humor is contagious.  I am also excited to be a part of Project Based Learning again which serves as such a great platform for that curiosity and energy.
I grew up here in Chico and attended Butte College for 2 years before moving on to Carroll College in Montana to finish my college basketball career and my Bachelor’s degree. After spending a few years in Oregon and a few years on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona, we moved back to Chico to raise our family.
I have 3 children (all CCDS alumni) and I love traveling to visit them in my spare time.  If I’m not spending time with family I can be found on the Sacramento River, hiking, reading, or trying to figure out how to golf.
