I am in my 9th year as the varsity head coach. I coached at Ralston Valley HS previously from from 2002-2009. I was a member of the 2003 State Champions coaching staff. I have been a teacher at Ralston Valley HS since 2003 and currently teach AP Calculus and Architecture. I graduated from Pomona HS and received a basketball scholarship to South Dakota School of Mines. I then graduated from the Colorado School of Mines with a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and then went on to get a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Colorado Christian University so I could become a teacher and work with kids. I am married to Jenny Braketa who is also a teacher at Ralston Valley HS and played college basketball at Regis University. We have 3 boys and 1 daughter together.
