Meet Mr. J.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Missouri-St. Louis with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education in 2006. I obtained my Master's degree in Educational Leadership/ Administration from Maryville University in 2011.
I began my career here at Spoede as a Teacher Assistant for 4th and 5th grades. Then I taught 6th grade at St. Louis Charter School in south city for one year. I came back to Spoede and taught fifth grade for five years. This is my eleventh year teaching third grade. I am very excited!!
I have been married to my wife, Crystal, for 20 years. We have 2 beautiful girls. I also have 3 dogs named Louie, Cooper, and Rosie.
