Hi.
I’m the Physical Education teacher at Willagillespie Elementary School in Eugene. I began teaching at Willagillespie in 2011. I have been teaching physical education in elementary schools since 1991. Before that I was a substitute teacher, and taught middle school and high school PE. I coached football, basketball and baseball in Eugene from 1977 until 2000.
I grew up in Eugene, and went to school at Gilham, Cal Young and Sheldon. I studied at the University of Oregon, and have always rooted for the Ducks. I have a wonderful wife, Kari, and a thirteen-year-old daughter, Madison, who’s in the 8th grade. We live in Springfield, and we love it. We travel to the coast as often as we can, and we like to camp and hike in the mountains. We ride bikes, hike and swim, and we all love music. We also love to stay home and play with our dog. And we pull weeds.
