Science

Hello!

I am Mr. Patterson and I teach in the science department here at KHS. I love science, especially biological sciences. Even though I consider myself a huge nerd, I love things other than biology. My wife and I were married in 2016 and we have two children. As a family, we enjoy being outdoors (walking, hiking, camping, fishing) and watching movies. I love living an active lifestyle and you can often find me running, working out, playing disc golf, or pretty much any other physical activity.

I studied at Brigham Young University-Idaho where I received a B.S. in Exercise Physiology. After completing my undergraduate studies, I wandered from job to job trying to figure out what I wanted to do before finding a passion for education. Once in education, I decided to pursue further education through Liberty University's online programs where I graduated with a M.S. in Human Biology.

I am proud to be a Bulldog!
