About Mr. Humble

I have been married to my wonderful wife Christina (also a teacher) since 2013. I enjoy watching movies, reading, playing board games, photography, computer games, and studying science. I am (almost) an Arizona native, having lived here since age 5. I enjoy Pizza (it’s my favorite food), and love to cook.

In 2018, I earned my National Board Certification. National Board Certification is the highest professional certificate that a teacher in the United States can earn. Pursuing this certification will allows me to grow my teaching practice and improve the way I reach each of the students in my classroom. (Read more about National Board Certification here.) I also work with the Arizona K12 center to coach new NBCT candidates both within the Laveen District and throughout Arizona.

I hope to have a wonderful year of teaching, learning, and growing with you and your child. I am always available to help, so please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time.
