If I could go back in time, I would thank with all my heart every student,
parent, teacher, principal, boss, employee and visitor whom I have known over
this long, happy career. I have learned more than I ever thought possible, and
I have received ten-fold more than I have given. It’s been the best job I could
ever imagine, and I would do it all over again, except it’s time for me to get out
in the garden.

I graduated from the Pamplin College of Business at
Virginia Tech with a BS in Management Science and
Information Technology. I started teaching United
States History to junior boys in 2003-2004 and did
that for two years. I also taught Web Design and Web
Development. Then I settled in with Senior Project
(2006-2007) and have been doing that for the last 10
years. I loved co-teaching this course with Cory Boyce.
In 2008-2009 I started teaching Civics and
Economics and have been doing that for eight years. I
did six years in the dorm as a housemaster and have been the Registrar for the
last four years.
I built and maintain the information system that manages all the student
data (transcripts, schedules, grades, credits, etc.)
I coached JV baseball for one year.
The best part of teaching at ANC is by far the people – specifically the
students. They are fun, engaged, earnest and good people. It is a pleasure being
a part of their young-adult years.
I will begin work at Cairnwood Cooperative Corporation in the fall.

I had the privilege of teaching AP Statistics and freshman Accelerated
Algebra at the Academy this year -- quite a dreamy assignment for a first-year
teacher, since these are both small, accelerated math
classes. Teaching and working with students has been
enlightening, enjoyable, formative and fun. I would
like to thank Jeremy Irwin, Baird Kistner, Elizabeth
Fuller, Cory Boyce, Phil Feerrar, my parents, Dan
and Lisa, and my fiancé Ivy Daum, for their help and
support. I learned a lot – and I hope that my students
did too!
I owe many thanks to the faculty and administration
for welcoming me and for being awesome. I am
