🏈🎸🎫🎮👫***ABOUT ME***✈️🌎🏜🗻🌆 🏝 
Welcome to my page! I am an elementary classroom teacher during the day and in the evenings I teach a few adult education classes at a local community college. I spent 7 years coaching high school football as both as an assistant and head coach. I love helping young people try to become as prepared for life as possible. I have many things I am passionate about and Outschool provides a great opportunity for me to share some of that knowledge. I love teaching. Math is my jam but I teach science, social studies, language, reading, and writing as well. My wife and I travel quite a bit and love seeing new places. We have a lot of things on the list that we want to see and now that I am not coaching we have a little more time to do that. We are also huge wrestling fans. I have been to three WrestleMania events. I am a huge fan of the entire NFL and keep up on the news year-round from across the league. I also have a passion for finance and the way money works. I love teaching young people about budgeting, paying off debt, saving, investing, and all that goes with it. So come join us as I use Outschool to teach about some of that stuff and more!

🔨✂️📖***LIFE LESSON OF THE DAY***📖✂️🔨
In my classes and on the field I want my students and players to get better at what we are trying to do but I am ultimately concerned with how they develop as people and that they are as prepared for life as possible. That is why I teach my classes in an energetic, personable, passionate, and charismatic way that will keep learners engaged but also work on social skills. I take pride in helping students become better people. Each class will always we will include a short Life Lesson of the Day and Learn From Others Lesson of the Day at the beginning of class. These are short quotes from Horace Jackson Brown Jr.'s books on life lessons. We usually only use a minute or two on these but I believe they are vital. Here are a few examples:
-"Take out the trash without being told."
-"Control what you can control."
-"Be the first to complement the meal when a guest in someone's home."
-"Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you have not planted"
-"Be the first to say hello."
-"Life is like a football game: you can't score without help from others."
-"The greatest wealth is contentment."
-"Never shake a hand while sitting down."
-"You can sleep late but the world doesn't."
-"Life seems to reward those who take one more step when they think they can't."
