Hello, my name is Zachary Kintzley and I love working at Rice!   

I was born and raised in LaPorte, Colorado to a large family!  I attended CLP, CLPE, and graduated from Poudre High School in 2002.  I received a Bachelors in Science in Education at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, South Dakota where I also competed in track and cross-country.   After college I spent 9 years working at Saint Joseph Catholic School; 7 years as a Physical Education teacher and Athletic Director and 2 years as a 3rd grade teacher.  Along with teaching I coached a variety of sports.  This is now my 8th year at Rice (five years in 1st and one year in 3rd) and looking forward to my second year teaching 2nd Grade.      

When I am not at school I love hanging with family!  Especially with my wife Maria and our two daughters Milly and Ruby.   I love all sports and enjoy camping and fishing.
