I have over 25 years of experience in special education, starting as a PE teacher for students with social and emotional needs before spending ten years in the classroom. For the past eight years, I’ve worked as a Behavior and Mental Health Specialist in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) schools.

​

I founded Better Outcomes Youth Services to help families confidently navigate special education and advocate for their children’s needs.

​

I’m passionate about mentoring youth as they grow into adulthood, serving as a positive male role model. I also enjoy teaching sports and outdoor activities, believing strongly in the connection between nature and mental health. I strive to model these values every day with my own two children.
