大家好  Dàjiā hǎo!

This is my eighth year working in the School District of Clayton. In 2017, not long after my wife and I moved from Shenzhen, China to St. Louis, I was fortunate to be hired as a Reading Interventionist Intern at Glenridge Elementary. In 2018, I joined Clayton's World Language department as a Mandarin Chinese teacher. 

I split my time between Wydown Middle School (A-Days and C-Day mornings) and Clayton High School (B-Days and C-Day afternoons).

My wife and I live in St. Louis city, just south of Forest Park, in Dogtown. We have one son, a little guy named Brinton Cooper. (We all call him BCoop.)

In my free time I love to ride my bike, listen to and make music, travel, read, and watch movies. 

Please explore my virtual classroom HERE, and feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas that you have about Chinese language or culture.
