When kids choose NOT to brush their teeth, should we blame the dentist? Obviously not. Why do we blame teachers when students choose NOT to complete even the most simplest of assignments?

It’s happening!!! #MIZ

Pending board approval, I’m excited to announce I’ve accepted the Head Coaching position at Grandview High School! I would like to thank to @aaron_ihm for taking a chance on me 9 years ago, and to the communities of Raytown South and @BVNW_Huskies for embracing me & my family.

Great decision!

Since May 23, the Savannah Bananas have won as many games at Kauffman Stadium as the Royals.

Breaking: The Chiefs have walked away from land contracts in Kansas that have expired. Presumably, the Chiefs will stay in Missouri at this point. #ChiefsKingdom

Coming Soon... 5 Years in the Making Maslow Before Bloom… Then Gardner, Jung & Goleman A bold follow-up to the groundbreaking 2020 book: Maslow Before Bloom: Basic Human Needs Before Academics What if school wasn’t just about achievement—but about becoming? Five years after sparking a movement, Dr. Bryan Pearlman returns with a powerful next step—taking us beyond safety and survival into strengths, identity, meaning, and emotional intelligence. This book asks the deeper questions: Once students feel safe, what’s next? What if we focused on who they are, not just what they know? From Gardner’s multiple intelligences, to Jung’s self-awareness & purpose, to Goleman’s emotional intelligence—this book provides a practical, student-centered framework to help kids thrive, not just survive. Inside you'll discover: Why Maslow still matters—and what comes after How trauma blocks learning (and how to bridge the gap) Strategies to teach to strengths—not just standards Ways to help students discover who they are and why they matter How to coach emotional regulation—not control behavior A new vision for assessment: growth, effort, meaning This is not about lowering the bar. It’s about clearing the path. For every educator who’s ever thought: “There’s more going on here.” You were right. And this book is for you. Let’s stop managing kids. Let’s mentor them into greatness. Summer 2025. Get ready.
