Currently @ ESC/Cubicle
Position - Planning Principal for Edgerton Elementary

What am I most looking forward to at Edgerton?
The opportunity to start a school (physically, philosophically and in terms of creating the climate) is very exciting to me. I also believe that bringing on an entire staff that is committed to common goals and paths to success is going to to go a long way in making a positive impact with our students. I have to admit that I have only worked in older buidings, so the newness-factor puts a smile on my face as well.
Activities I enjoy when not spending time with work:
I simply enjoy hanging out with my family. I like to go for walks with my wife, play board games with the kids, and spend time together at the YMCA. I also like camping, hiking, movies and sports.
Places I enjoy traveling (or want to travel) to:
My annual favorite is Lake Chelan. I have been to Australia and have that marked as my next major family trip. Las Vegas, camping on the Cowlitz river, visiting friends in Sequim and heading to Hoopfest in Spokane are also regular favorites. I absolutely love to traveling. I have lived in China, backpacked throughout SE Asia, took a group of JH kids to Italy and Greece, and played football in the South Pacific.
A few of my favorites (movies, food, restaurants, etc.):
Being a movie nut, I have a lot of favorites. Some of them include Memento, Chasing Amy, anything Star Wars, and I most recently watched Schindler's List. Food-wise, I am a fan of From the Bayou, the spinach salad at The Ram, my mother-in-law's fried chicken (as well as Popeye's), the salad bar at Roundtable Pizza, anything off of the BBQ, and my wife's pasta salad. A book I would recommend:
I just read Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code...loved them both. I am currently reading a book about potential future travels and I have begun the A Whole New Mind (by Daniel Pink) that Ian Jukes, and many others, recommended.
A quote that has personal meaning to me:
"The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor find much fun in life." - Charles Schwab
Something interesting that others may not know about me:
With my year at the Air Force Academy came a tattoo. I am just not sharing were!
