"I loved working with the
kids and being a part of their
lives," he said. "I feel grateful
and blessed that I chose a career
that involved children."
He has enjoyed working in
small districts as the atmosphere

said it is easier to get to know
the students and their families
in a small district. He feels that
it is also easier to support, help
