My name is Davian Askew. I am from Georgia but have lived in Colorado for many years. I taught elementary Spanish for five years at RMCA before moving up to middle school. I enjoy singing, writing, making music, sports, and spending time with my wife and daughter.

My name is James Booth, and I am the new Kindergarten-5th Grade Latin Teacher! I am so excited for the opportunity and am so happy to be a part of RMCA. I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH, and I attended The Ohio State University, where I majored in Ancient History & Classics, with a minor in Education. I originally taught Latin to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students for four years at a small school in Cincinnati before transitioning to Kindergarten-5th Grade here. In my free time, I like to go hiking, play golf, and go to the gym!

Hello! My name is Kamrine Finney and I have the best job in the world! Rocky Mountain Classical Academy has been a part of my life for fourteen years now, starting way back when the school opened. I have been married to my husband, Paul, for twenty-four years and we have three boys that have gone completely through the RMCA program and have now moved on to high school & college. This will be my 9^th year as an employee of RMCA and my 8^th year in the Library. Each day I strive to reach the heart of each student hoping to embrace the love of reading. Remember - “You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.” –Anita Merina

Hi! My name is Xavier Landrum and I am the Middle School LeadWorthy teacher! A couple of fun facts about myself... In my spare time, I like to play basketball whenever I can, relax with a couple of friends every once in a while, and explore Colorado a little when I can. When I am home, I generally hang out with my brother since we are both are roommates here, and nothing else. I graduated from Cameron University in Lawton OK, and went to high school at Eisenhower Sr. High School as well. The only reason why I ended up going to school there, is because I am a military brat, and my dad was stationed there before he retired. I am originally from Jackson, MS, but was born in Germany! I have lived in several places, so I have been on quite an adventure and continue to do so in the near future! I am sorry that my bio is short, I just haven't done much in this state since I am new to Colorado still, or at least consider it, but as I mentioned previously, I do plan to do a lot more and adventure! Thank you for taking your time to read about me and feel free to say hi at anytime!

I have been teaching music in Colorado for 14 years as a choir director, band director, and college music theory instructor.  I love teaching music through performance, so we sing and play a lot!  I earned my bachelor's degree from The Colorado College where I played jazz guitar, classical guitar, and saxophone. 

I enjoy rubik's cubes, rock climbing, ice hockey, and basically anything outside!
