My Bio

My education career began during my sophomore year in college at Winona State University. It was at that time where I chose to major in education. I completed my student teaching at Cherokee Heights Elementary in St. Paul as part of Winona State's Urban Teaching Education Partnership. Upon graduating from Winona State in 2008, I was hired in the Winona Public School District to teach 5th grade. I taught 5th grade for two years there before being hired by the Byron Public School District to teach 3rd grade. After teaching 3rd grade for five years, I made the switch to 5th grade. Besides having my bachelor's degree in education, I have also received my Masters in Literacy Education from St. Mary's University.

I am not only a proud employee of Byron Public Schools, but I am also a proud citizen of the Byron community. I reside in this wonderful town with my wife, Amy, and my three step-children Alex, Emma, and Sam. Amy is also a proud Byron Public School teacher as she teaches Kindergarten at the Byron Primary School.

In my free time, I enjoy playing golf. I also enjoy coaching golf as I am the Assistant Golf Coach for Byron Public Schools. I also enjoy spending time outdoors doing other things such as hiking, kayaking, and biking. I have also recently gotten back into snowboarding as I serve as an adviser for the Byron Ski Club. I also enjoy volunteering when I can with our Byron Intermediate Student Council which I also serve as adviser for.
