I am in my 40th year of teaching, the last 31 here at Jackson Heights. I have been teaching 5th grade at Jackson Heights all 31 years. I started my teaching career at Silver Lake, teaching 4th and 6th grade for 9 years. I have coached football, basketball, track, and knowledge bowl over the years. My wife Carol taught PE at Jackson Heights and coached volleyball. She retired from teaching a few years ago, and now is the library aid for the high school and grade school. I have 2 children. Cristy lives and works in Manhattan, Kansas. Andy lives in Louisville, Kentucky and was married to his wife Natalie last summer in Louisville, Kentucky.
