Art 1, Drawing 2, and Painting 2/3 I previously taught at [|Irving High School] for 2 years. The excitement of working with a supportive staff and administration. I also know the students here are the most talented and motivated in Irving, and I want to be a part of their success. I have been married for 6 years, and my wife is a counselor at [|Kinkeade Early Childhood School]. We have a new 4 month old daughter named Lena. I enjoy spending time with my family, creating art, bike riding, and playing guitar. I hope to learn more about how the [|Academy] works, and how it differs from my previous experience.
