This is my 20th year at Marist Catholic High School, where this year I teach sophomore modern world history, AP European history and AP United States history. I've also taught freshman world history, government and economics and advise the Chess Team and Trivia Bowl.
I was born and raised in Colfax, Wash. Before Marist hired me just before Labor Day in 1992, I worked as a newspaper editor and reporter for three years at the "Lake Chelan Mirror" in Chelan, Wash., and as a legislative aide in two sessions of the Washington State Senate. I am a member of St. Peter Parish, where I am a lector and active in the St. Vincent de Paul Society. In my free time, I like to travel--preferably by train!
