I have been teaching for 20 years.  I am beginning my 12th year at HPMS.  I 
love teaching my students about science.  If you need to contact me, please 
email me from this site.  You can email the entire Extreme team from the KISD 
website or type hpmsextreme@kerrvilleisd.net.  

I've been married for 19 years and I have 4 children. My children are 
attending KISD schools from Tally to Tivy.  We enjoy camping and spent a 
month last summer traveling central and western USA.  We went through OK, 
KS, and NB quickly(tornado alley).  We spent several days in SD exploring the 
Black hills--Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, natural springs etc.  We spent a day 
in WY at Devils Tower (no close encounters).  In MT we saw Little Big Horn 
and spent several days at Glacier Nat't Park (cold and awesome). We traveled 
the Lewis and Clark trail all the way to the Pacific Ocean.  We traveled Hwy 
101 down the coast to the Redwood forest.  We visited Death Valley and the 
Mojave desert before we headed home.  Balmoreah State park in Texas was 
wonderful.
