About Me

I began my career as a school counselor in Rosebud, South Dakota at Todd County High School.  I spent two years there before I was given the opportunity as a school counselor at Spearfish High School for four years.  That road led me to my first administrative position as the Spearfish Middle School Assistant Principal and Activities Director, which I held for 10 years. This opportunity provided many challenges and opportunities to prepare me to be the principal at Creekside Elementary School. 

Spearfish has been a great place for employment and an even better place to raise a family.  Our little family of five has enjoyed many opportunities this community has provided for us.  I have a wonderful wife and three daughters that I take great pride in. 

I am a graduate from the University of South Dakota  in 2006  with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology/Criminal Justice, I received my Masters of Arts in Educational Psychology and Counseling in 2009, and my Specialist in Education in Administration in 2012.
