Joe Hanzen

Greetings!

I'm Joe and have been at Skyview since 2013, working as a Special Education Paraprofessional. In January 2020, I received my certification and am now a Special Education Teacher at Skyview.

Before moving to Prescott, I studied Outdoor Education at Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. I have over ten years experience working with adults with special needs and developmental disabilities. I have worked as a behavior coach in the elementary school setting, mentored children through Arizona Children’s Association, and have been a Big Brother volunteer in Yavapai County since 2009. I’m currently enrolled at Yavapai College, and have lived in Prescott since 2008.

I live with my wife, Kate, and our two daughters, Bay & Joon. When not at Skyview I’m frequently on the disc-golf course with my two dogs or working around the house. Although I have many outdoor passions, none are as great as being on the river. I am happy to be part of the Skyview team and feel fortunate to work with such a dedicated community.
