I live just outside Danville. I have lived in Vermilion County for 7 years now. I moved from Quincy where I grew up. In Quincy I learned about my passion to work with children. Growing up I volunteered for my children's program at my church. After College at Western Illinois University I took a job as a preschool teacher and taught in classrooms from 15 months to 5 years old. After moving to Danville I decided to try working with older students and I'm loving it. I also enjoy fishing, cycling, and spending time with my family when I can. My family includes my wife Nikki and my two dogs Lola and Cheeto along with a cat named Gracie.
