About Me

This is my seventeenth year in the classroom. Outside of the first semester of my first year, I have been lucky enough to be educating seniors and college in the schools students the entire time. My wife Julie teaches students as they enter the district as an Early Childhood Special Education instructor, and I get them as they are leaving the district. I have two wonderful sons, Quin (8th grade) and Owen (6th grade). We are a family who loves to stay busy. Football, wrestling, hockey and baseball are at the center of most of what we do. When not in the classroom or supporting students in their extracurricular activities, you could probably find me out on the mountain bike trails in Cuyuna.

  • 1998 Graduate of University of Minnesota Duluth with BA in Secondary Social Studies Summa Cum Laude
