FAMILY

Family is the most important part of my life. My wife Dana and I try to spend as much time with our children as possible. Our son Caden is 9 years old and our daughter Madeline is now 5.

HOBBIES and INTERESTS

My wife and I travel extensively with our kids. Our goal is to travel to a different country (or countries) every year. So far we have been successful! My philosophy is that my students are the true benefactors of my travels because I can use my experiences to really make Social Studies come to life.

As some of you may have heard, I used to race a Ford Mustang professionally. My favorite tracks are Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI and Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, IL. I bought my Mustang when I was 16 years old and the rest is history. (A very expensive history).

***Enough about me. This class is supposed to be about you!

Let's talk about Social Studies!!!
