What do you like about working at University High School?

I enjoy that University High School provides great opportunities for teachers and students to be successful. I can teach a wide variety of courses that I am passionate about. I also enjoy J-Term, as it allows students to study various topics that they otherwise may not get a chance to learn about in a more traditional setting.

Personal Information

I am married to Meredith Hogan (math instructor at UHS) and have two pets — a calico cat named Skittles and a teddy bear dog named Zoe. I love robotics, tennis, and enjoy playing board games. I am an avid San Antonio Spurs fan and enjoy going to conventions such as Gen-Con and Comic-Con.
