About Me: I have been a science teacher at LHS for 15 years. In that time I have taught: Biology & Honors Biology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, AP Env. Science, and IB Environmental Systems and Societies. In other schools, whose names are unimportant since they are not LHS, I taught Physical Science, Conceptual Physics, and Chemistry. Yea Science!
Though it seems like I have been here just a few years, I have lived in Colorado since the summer of 2002. I am originally from a small town in Western New York, called Jamestown. I grew up -- dirty, because I spent most of my time camping, hiking in forests, playing in streams and lakes, riding bikes and skateboards, and running around my neighborhood with my friends making up games. I try to continue these things as much as I can here in Colorado.
After graduating from Jamestown High School (there was only one high school in my town), I went on to Jamestown Community College, then the SUNY College for Environmental Science and Forestry, and finally finished at Syracuse University with a Masters Degree in Biology and Education.
I lived in a few different places before settling here: Jamestown NY where I was born and grew up; Syracuse NY where I went to college; New York City NY, where my first teaching job was, and then finally the Denver Area. I had planned to stay in the Denver area for a few years, then try out the Pacific Northwest, but I stayed here because of the wonderful weather, the outdoor activities, and the cool vibe this area has.
