I was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and lived there until my family and I moved to Flagstaff, AZ as a teenager. After a few short years I moved to Tucson to attend the University of Arizona and despite having left numerous times for wildlife biologist positions I continue to be drawn back to my home here in the Sonoran Desert.
I love working at Edge because of the support and open-mindedness that all of the students and staff bring into the school each and every day. You really get a sense of community being here and it is an amazing feeling seeing the passion and effort that is displayed by our students throughout the year.
Some of my favorite hobbies include rock climbing and being in the mountains, welding, frisbee golf, and more than anything being outside with my wife and two dogs. Nature and science are two things I could never live without.
