This is my ninth year at Lake Pend Oreille High School. I teach Yearbook, Photoshop, Photography, Art and Graphic Designs. Prior to teaching I worked as an Art Director for a publishing company for six years. I designed many books and magazines as well as doing design work for Schweitzer Mountain Resort and the Federation of Flyfishers. While I was working as the Art Director I was asked to talk to a class at the alternative high school on the process of storyboarding. It was getting involved in this project which gave me the teaching bug. I pursued an alternative endorsement as a Professional-Technical teacher and was hired full-time at the school the following year.
