The Long Story
Originally I am from Apple Valley, California. My parents moved back to Nebraska when I was young. I grew up in Plattsmouth, Nebraska where I was involved in football, basketball, track and field, Letterman's Club, and Student Council. My senior year of track we won the 2008 Class B State Track and Field Championship. I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney with degrees in 7-12 Biology and 7-12 Chemistry. I was a member of the Track & Field team where I was apart of two RMAC Championship teams. At the end of my career I finished in the top 15 in the 110 meter hurdles, 60 meter hurdles, and the heptathlon.
I met my wife at UNK. She was an athletic trainer who later went on to become a Physical Therapy Assistant. We got married in August of 2014 in West Point, Nebraska. On June 1st we had our first child together, Emerson La Rosa.
This is my second year at Northwest High School and am loving every day here. I teach MI, PBS, Intro to Sports Medicine, and Intro to Health Science. I did my student teaching at Northwest where I taught chemistry and biology. Aside from teaching I also; coach middle school football and basketball and track.
