Alpha Denver
A Bellevue, WA native and University of Arizona finance graduate, I’ve coached baseball, mentored campers, and led a global missions team in Asia, where I met my wife, Izzy. My work at Unbridled Wealth taught me to challenge convention and pursue better outcomes for clients, a mindset that drew me to Alpha. As a father of three, I’m passionate about helping this generation of kids flourish in today’s world and partnering with families in their education journey.
I joined Alpha because the world is changing too quickly for education to stay the same. As a dad of three, I want kids to master the fundamentals while developing the confidence, judgment, and real-world skills to thrive in the age of AI. I love how Alpha combines high standards with personalized learning and hands-on experiences that help kids become capable thinkers, builders, and leaders.

At Alpha, he fosters joy in learning, academic excellence, and life skills, guiding kids beyond their comfort zones toward extraordinary futures.
I joined Alpha because I believe in redefining education. Personalization, hands-on learning, and skill development are the pillars of a truly impactful education. Alpha’s approach aligns with my vision of ensuring every child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally in a way that is uniquely suited to them.

No. Screen-based learning happens in the morning, when students work through their core academics on our Timeback learning apps, with outdoor breaks built in. The rest of the day is hands-on, active, and social: team workshops, life skills, and time with their peers.
No. The Timeback apps personalize academics so every student works at their own level and pace. Guides do the rest: coaching, motivating, setting goals, and holding students accountable.
