BUSHLAND

I started teaching in Bushland in 2017.  I taught Theater Arts for two years, directing shows like The Importance of Being Earnest and Grease.  As much as I loved directing plays, my passion is teaching English.  This year, I am teaching English 1 1-Honors.  I love being in Bushland and am grateful for the support of the parents and administration.

Before Bushland, I worked for Miami ISD.  Miami is a small district about 80 miles northeast of Amarillo.  I taught English 1-4, Speech, and Theater for 4 years before becoming the Principal in Miami.  I enjoyed my time in Miami and am thankful for the experience I gained out there.

I have been married to my wife Chantil for 8 years, but we have been together for 11 years.  We have a son, Shain, who is in 5th grade here in Bushland.  I also have 2 older boys. Hayden is in 10th grade at Hereford High School, and Erich who is 22.

I love reading, though there is never enough time for it.  I also enjoy Texas Rangers and Amarillo Sod Poodles Baseball.  My boys and I enjoy playing golf, so we try to do that as much as possible.  I have recently taken up sewing thanks to COVID-19.  I look forward to a great school year every year, and feel that I have been blessed in all areas of my life.
