Tell us why you became a teacher

My grandparents were teachers and a librarian. My aunt is an award winning kindergarten teacher. My mother is a school counselor. Being a teacher is in my blood and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had been working with a student who was failing all of his classes and was on the verge of joining a local gang. I slowly got him out of the hole he was in, got him to join our football team and weightlifting program. He came back to me the next spring and told me how he was now on the honor roll and lost over 100 lbs.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would finish getting my Master’s degree in Health & Physical Education and pay off my wife and I’s student debts.
