Hey there
I'm Nick!
I’m a middle school math teacher, lifelong learner, and believer that curiosity is one of our greatest superpowers. By day, I help students explore math through hands-on projects, engaging discussions, and moments of “Wait… that actually makes sense!” But my work goes beyond equations—I’m passionate about creating a classroom where kids feel seen, safe, and excited to grow.
​
Outside the classroom, you’ll find me experimenting with lesson design, sketching ideas for my next classroom game or escape room, or out on the golf course working on my game.
I believe teaching is both a craft and a calling—and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

What I Believe
-
Math is a thinking tool—not just a subject.
-
I want students to see math as a way to make sense of the world, not just a set of rules to memorize.
-
-
Relationships come first.
-
Learning happens best when students feel a sense of belonging and trust—both with me and with each other.
-
-
Creativity has a place in every lesson.
-
I love designing rich math tasks, student choice projects, and classroom experiences that spark curiosity and joy.
