• Welcome!

    Hello!  I'm new to CHS for the 2024-2025 school year.  I come from Parkway West HS where for 24 years I taught physics, chemistry, and PLTW Principles of Engineering as well as coached golf, softball, and soccer.  Before that, I taught physics and chemistry as well as coached soccer at St. John's HS for 5 years.  And before that, I was a chemical engineer in the oil refining industry for 5 years.  It took me a bit before I realized that I should've been in education all along, but soon I recognized that the business world never provided me any fulfillment so I finally became a teacher and have never looked back.  I hold a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis and an MBA from the University of Minnesota.  My teacher certification coursework comes from UMSL, and I also have graduate education coursework from Lindenwood University.  My wife & I have 3 kids who all graduated from Parkway West HS, and I truly enjoyed getting to spend extra time with them while I was at work.  Our oldest son is now a paramedic, and our twins are in college.  Our daughter is studying marine biology, and her twin brother is studying computer science.  In my free time, I enjoy playing golf, fishing, and poker.  I look forward to working in the CHS community!
