Favorite food: It's really hard to beat a good steak or a smoked brisket.

Hobbies: I really enjoy training and riding horses, reading a good book, and fishing when I get the chance.

What do you love about teaching?  I absolutely love getting to know the students and getting to share the language of math with them.  I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to math.  

What do you love about teaching with Branson?  It is really difficult to narrow down all the reasons that I love teaching with Branson into a short answer, but I'll try my best.  It has to be that Branson has a small town school feel to it and we all get to know each other and are able to build relationships with the students and parents.

Favorite season? Why? Definitely spring.  I love watching all of the lambs, calves, and other babies running and playing and watching all of the plants in my garden grow.  

Favorite place you have traveled to?  It's a tie between Patras, Greece and the Amalfi Coast in Italy.  

# 1 item on your bucket list: I'd like to go to Ireland, Scotland, and Iceland.

Favorite book/author: Chris Colfer's Land of Stories series currently at the top of my list.

Favorite sport: Rodeo
