"Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of 'true' education." Martin Luther King, Jr.
I'm thrilled to be returning this fall as 8th Literature/Language Arts teacher at Haven. I’m looking forward to a creative and collaborative year with the Language Arts/Literature team and Team Iowa teachers and students.
A graduate of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, I have been in and around writing for years, serving as a rock club publicist, small Chicago culture magazine editor, and freelance writer for a decade before becoming a teacher. My wife Heather and I have lived in Evanston for 18 years now and have two children, Caelen at ETHS, and Rory at Nichols.
I bring my passions of music, food, sports, and culture (to name a few) into the classroom and hope to find and develop the interests of our fantastic students. The result, I hope, is an environment that focuses on hands-on learning and supportive risk-taking.
It should be a great year.
