About

It is a privilege to be a teacher.  I love sharing the wisdom and knowledge from my own journey, and the teachers who shaped me with the future generation.
I tell our students that "I'm not the one who's going to change the world. You are. I'm just here to show you how." 
No matter what I'm teaching鈥攚hether it's law, music, or nursing- My primary philosophy of teaching is this: "Love what you teach, but love WHO you teach more."- Dr. Brad Johnson
