Tell us why you became a teacher

I was the first person in my family to go to college and I always had a passion for coaching basketball. Somehow along my coaching journey, I found the amazing world of teaching. It was a career decision I never would've guessed I would've picked in High School. However, it gets better every year.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I still love getting emails from former students just letting me know how their life is going. Every time I get one of those emails it lights up my day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, I would take my wife and two old chihuahuas on a trip. Then we would put some much needed money into our home.
