About Mr. Laufenberg

I grew up in Highland, Wisconsin, a small town of 800 people.  I have two great parents and am the oldest of three boys.  Both of my parents graduated from Highland as did I in 2002.  After high school I attended the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, where I got my bachelors degree in Physical Education, Adaptive Physical Education, and Health Education.  I graduated in the summer of 2007 and was fortunate to be offered a job in the Bangor School District later that fall.  I have been very lucky work at such a great school.  While working in the school district, I was fortunate to meet my wife Kelli.  We were married in the summer of 2011.  Kelli is also a teacher who is a reading specialist in Bangor. In 2013 we welcomed our son Maddox and in 2020 we welcomed our second son Merrick.

I am very interested in athletics and sports.  In high school I was a three sport athlete playing football, basketball and baseball.  Some of my greatest memories of playing athletics are: making it to state and playing at Camp Randall my junior year in football, playing baseball at the Metrodome, and winning conference championships in all sports throughout my high school career.  I have been coaching basketball in some form since 2002-2003.  I was fortunate enough student teach in Cuba City, Wisconsin where I was also an assistant girls basketball coach.  The team went undefeated and won the state title, which is a great experience I will never forget.  I have been coaching in some form basketball and football since being hired in Bangor in 2007.  Along with coaching I am an avid golfer which is currently my favorite sport to play.
