Do you remember your favorite picture book growing up?? My favorite was The Poky Little Puppy by Janette Sebring Lowrey. My hope is to instill the love of reading in our students to make them lifelong readers. This will be my 9th year at SkyView Academy. I am married to my husband Bob and we recently celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. We have 2 grown children and a dog named Rossi. We have lived in Highlands Ranch for 27 years.

This my first year at Sky View Academy and Colorado and am excited to be here. As someone who has spent over a decade learning Latin, I am happy to have to opportunity to share my love of the language with students. I enjoy the opportunity Latin gives as a window into an ancient and foreign culture and how, by looking at this culture, we can reflect on our own. When my heads not in a book, you can find me in the mountains!

I love SVA! I have been part of the SVA family since 2010. I have the great privilege of teaching Spanish to a variety of grade levels. I have taught Spanish for over 20 years. As a native of México I love to share not only my language but the culture that surrounds the whole of Latin America. Outside of SVA I spend my time with family and friends enjoying life by doing all my favorite things: dancing, eating, napping, reading, hiking, running, walking, game nights, movie nights, listening to Latin music and perfecting my snickerdoodle recipe 🙂

My wife and I are both Colorado natives, and our five daughters have exclusively attended SkyView, and as such, we have at least one student in each of the three schools. Needless to say, we have been a part of the SkyView family for over ten years and have a lot invested! We love to be involved at SkyView, and I also enjoy occasionally teaching Sunday School at our church and coaching my girls whenever possible.
I attended Metro State University and graduated with a B.S. in Computer Information Systems. Currently, I am the Director of Global Data and Digital Technology for Optiv, and am also a member of the off-ice officiating crew for the National Hockey League at Colorado Avalanche home games.
I strive to bring to this board position the same values SkyView is instilling into our students: character, service, and integrity, as well as a balanced view of what is best for our students, parents, and staff. My vision and goal for SkyView is to accept the baton from the current board, accelerate SkyView to the next level over the course of the next three years and continue to develop honorable leaders in this next generation.
My name is Ryan Meinkoth and I am the director of bands here at SVA. This year marks my 8th year of teaching and my 4th year at SkyView. I teach 6th grade band, 7th grade band, 8th grade band, middle school music appreciation, high school band, and work with extracurricular ensembles such as jazz band and pep band. I'm originally from St. Louis, MO, went to college at Mizzou, and taught in a small town in Missouri for four years before making the move to beautiful Colorado. In my free time I play ultimate frisbee, climb, and spend time with my wonderful girlfriend, Callie and our cute pup, Macy. Getting to work with kids and make music all day makes me the luckiest teacher at SVA and I love my job! We hope to see you at our next concert!

I am so fortunate to be part of the leadership team at SkyView Academy and honored to work alongside an amazing team of educators. My journey of working in education has not been traditional, but education has always been at the core of all that I have done. I was born in Puerto Rico and moved to Orlando, Florida in the middle of 7th grade. My Puerto Rican heritage has provided me with a love of family, music, food, language, and culture. After earning my undergraduate degree from Florida State University, I had the great opportunity to teach in a small school in Panajachel, Guatemala. My experiences in Central America inspired me to pursue graduate studies in Psychology. My internship brought our family out to Denver where I had the privilege to work at Children’s Hospital Colorado. I worked for nearly ten years in a neurological rehabilitation setting helping infants, children and teenagers recover from brain and spinal cord injuries. In my pursuit to return to education, I landed a dream job here at SkyView Academy teaching Spanish and Leadership in the Fall of 2014. SVA’s vision to prepare students to be lifelong learners and honorable leaders exemplifies what I value in education for my own children, who both attend and will graduate from SkyView Academy. Sebastian will be graduating this year and Siena is a sophomore. It’s incredible how time has flown! My lovely wife of 19 years works at Craig Hospital and we love our pet-filled home in Roxborough, Colorado. Most weekends we enjoy our gardens and being outdoors. I am so excited about this school year and humbled to be in my new role as Upper School Principal.
