I am truly honored and thrilled to be named one of the 2025 SHAPE America Adapted Physical Education District Teachers of the Year! This recognition is not just a personal milestone but a celebration of the importance of inclusive and adapted physical education for all students.
It’s humbling to be included alongside such dedicated educators who are making a real difference:
• Central District: Matthew Dunkin – Topeka, KS
• Eastern District: Brad Hunter – Baltimore, MD
• Midwest District: Steven Eggerichs – Holmen, WI
• Southern District: Matthew Barker – Alexandria, VA
I am excited to continue this journey, advocating for equitable, engaging, and meaningful physical education that empowers every student, regardless of ability. Thank you to SHAPE America and to everyone who has supported me and inspired my work.
Congratulations to my fellow honorees—together, we’re building a brighter, more inclusive future for all students.
