I absolutely love witnessing the spark in my student’s eyes when they enjoy the thrill of learning something new and watching them grow.

Tell us why you became a teacher

My parents were teachers and I love working with youngsters. My first field experience as a college student working with 1st graders was all it took. I knew this was the job for me.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have my students every year do an egg drop project where we drop eggs in the students self made crafts. They cannot use parachutes and none of the dimensions of their craft can more than 8 inches. Some wonderful creative ideas that only a kid could think of.

What would you do with the $25,000?

First, I would have a pizza party for my 4th grade class. Then, I would take trip with my wife to Europe. We have always wanted to go, but couldn’t afford it.
