What is your favorite thing to do with your family?

My favorite thing to do with my family is to watch the kids participate in their favorites sports/activities. My daughter is on a competitive dance team and my son plays t ball and basketball. I love watching the joy on their faces when they are competing and giving their best effort.

 

What is it like working on the same campus as your wife?

It is great to work on the same campus as my wife. She is so insightful about our students and their current likes and dislikes. She helps me so much in connecting with our student population and she remembers everyone’s name…. literally everyone’s name.

 

Can you give a brief sports overview from this school year?

We had an excellent year of sports at PHS. 250+ students made academic all league and we had multiple students earn 1st team and CCAL MVP honors. So far we have won 6 league titles, 1 section title, and had a wrester win a state championship. It was another great sports year for the Pride.

 

What is the first thing you’d do if you woke up in Jurassic Park?

First thought would be to run, but there is no way I am out running a dinosaur. I would probably try to go find an Apatosaurus and see if he can help me survive, kind of like Arlo did in the Good Dinosaur.
