I live in Jerome, ID and teach secondary math and science at Xavier Charter school in Twin Falls. I taught math and science in VA for two years prior to moving to ID. Here in ID, I have been both a teacher and principal, and am presently (and happily) back in the classroom full time. TTT was a very helpful program for me, and greatly aided my transition from the Navy to the classroom.
