I love teaching at Hazel Dell.  I have taught third grade here for 11 years.  I also taught in Elkhart and Anderson before coming to Hazel Dell. I graduated from Ball St. in 1997.  I have a masters in elementary reading.   My wife Katie and I have three children Gracie, Conner and Ellie.  Gracie is a freshman at Noblesville High School.  Conner is in 6th grade at West Middle School, and Ellie is a third grader at Hazel Dell.  All are very active with sports.
