About Me
About Me
Growing up in Waseca, I was familiar with the school that first hired me in the 2007-08 school year, Blue Earth Area High School. After teaching and coaching basketball and tennis for three years at Blue Earth Area I married my wife, (Winnebago native & BEA alumnus) Shannon 'Schonrock' Swanson, and moved to Arcadia, WI. In the last of my three years teaching in Arcadia, Shannon and I were blessed with our first daughter and moved back 'home'. Shannon is currently the Youth Service Coordinator at Blue Earth Area where I'm back teaching high school Social Studies.
The courses I currently am teaching are 8th grade Global Studies, 8th grade Civic Reasoning, Philosophy, Character Development & Leadership, and Current Events. I am also the Varsity Boys Basketball Coach and Student Council Advisor.
Shannon and I currently reside in Winnebago with our three children Ella, Drew and Lindsey.
