I have 3 different classes that I teach: Physical Education, Health, and Adaptive PE.  Physical Education is an essential element in our society today.  Learning how to stay active in an era that revolves around the various types of elctronics and technolgy is not always easy for our young students.  Our Physical Education department is dedicated to teaching activites that they can do through-out their whole lives.  Health class is so awesome!!  The class revolves around the "Health Triangle".  The health triangle deals with Physical Health, Mental and Emotional Health, and Social Health.  If any of the three sides of the health triangle are out of balance, the other sides are effected.  The third class that I teach is Adaptive PE.  This class brings a smile to my face everyday and makes me feel like the luckiest teacher in the world!  Being able to interact with these students is a blessing.

 

I am in my 10th year of teaching at Michigan City and 20th year overall.  I Graduated from Hillsdale College located in Hillsdale, Michigan in 1992.

I received my Masters Degree from the University of Indianapolis in 1998.  I coached Football at the University of Indianapolis for 6 years, Franklin Central for 10 years, and Michigan City for 4 years.  I have been married for 25 years to my precious wife Diana and have two boys, Erik who is 25 years old and Kyle is 23.  Both my boys have received their college degrees, and Erik just made us a proud Grandma and Grandpa for the first time.  His name is Donovan.  I am truly blessed.
