  Bio
  I grew up in Australia where I completed my Bachelor of Education, taught for nine years, and also completed post-graduate studies in computer programming. Since then, my sense of adventure and desire to experience new cultures and places has sent me to teach across six countries and four continents. I have taught physical education, mathematics, science, technology and MYP design. I love coaching volleyball and enjoy participating in outdoor activities. As a design and technology teacher, I enjoy creating learning experiences which open students' eyes to new areas, often which they didn't think were possible. I seek to continually learn and am excited to begin a Master's of Science this fall. My wife and 14-month old son and I are excited to live in Boulder and explore all that Colorado and its natural wonders afford.

  In my spare time, I like to keep moving – I worry that if I stop, I might crumble and turn to dust. You might find me chasing around after one of my daughters or one of the many pets in our menagerie, running in the mountains or doing yoga. You will never find me sitting still!
