I have been teaching Theatre, English, Yearbook, and Film at Wilsonville High School in Wilsonville, Oregon since 2004. I am also co-chair of Theatre Department, and typically direct two mainstage shows a year (one musical and one play). Our troupe participates in annual Thespian competitions (Regionals & State).
I am a fun, energetic teacher who tries to get the kids involved in whatever we are doing in class. I like to get students up on their feet and doing as many physical things as possible in the context of my classes.
Lots of nice feedback from former students about how I positively influenced their lives.
I attended Arizona State University and graduated from The University of Wisconsin in 1997 with a BA in Humanistic Studies. In 2002, I graduated from Western Washington University with an MA in Theatre Arts. I completed my teaching certification WWU, as well.
I live in Oregon with my creative wife, theatrical daughter, two dogs, four cats, and a partridge in a pear tree. Looking for creative and inspirational classroom posters? Please check out the Etsy shop I created with my wife, Christina Katz: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BlisscraftLife
