I'm super excited to be in my 8th year here at Woodlawn! Before this, I taught kindergarten in Dodge City for 7 years. The students and families at Woodlawn make it a fantastic place to be! I have a bachelor's degree from Fort Hays State and a master's degree from Newman University. When I'm not teaching, I love to go fishing, play golf, and jam out on the drums. I have a wonderful wife and three awesome stepkids: Luis (27), Bryanna (18), and Abril (16). I also have two grown-up kids of my own! My daughter Andrea (26) lives here in Lawrence, and my son Ruben (24) lives in Maine. Guess what? I recently became a grandfather, and it's so exciting! I can't wait to create more amazing memories with all of you this year!
