More About Myself

A couple of Introduction Videos I have created

I am originally from the small town of Sargent, NE and attended school from Kindergarten right through graduation at Sargent High School. I attended the University of Nebraska-Kearney beginning as a Wildlife Biology major before making the change and graduating with an Elementary Education degree and a Biology minor in December of 2003. After living in Elm Creek and substitute teaching for a few years at many area schools I took a position within Loomis Public Schools. We eventually moved to Loomis and have enjoyed living in and being a part of this great small town. My daughter graduated last year from Loomis and is going to cosmetology school at Joseph's and my son is a freshman this year in Loomis.

I have many hobbies and interests but don't always have enough time to enjoy them all. Wrestling is my biggest winter-time interest and seems to keep me busy from November through March. I enjoy coaching the high school wrestlers, the junior high, as well as the elementary kids in the JR Wolfking Wrestling Club. My family spends a lot of time related to wrestling throughout the season and enjoy the relationships that are formed as we go through each year.

In the summer some of our favorite times are at the lake as a family. We enjoy wakeboarding and other water sports as well as time on the shore playing on the beach. Sometimes we even find the time to get in a camping trip and spend the entire weekend at the lake. We also spend a lot of time at the baseball fields throughout the summer enjoying our evenings there. Wether it be watching my son play baseball or umpiring games most of my evenings in June and July are at a ball field somewhere.

We currently have two large dogs and one cat, but have had many others throughout the years, so I guess you could say we are animal lovers! Most of our dogs have been adopted from various shelters. We even make an occasional trip to a nearby no-kill shelter just to visit the dogs and cats there. Willow, our St. Bernard, often tags along with us as we go. She loves to be out in public and has been to numerous baseball and softball games when the weather is cool enough. She even has gotten to visit the school with me a few times.

If you browsed through any of the photos or videos above you probably noticed that our family really gets into Halloween. For several years now our church has had an annual Trunk or Treat night. Our family has dressed as a group theme, dogs included, and decorated the vehicle all around a central theme. It is a fun evening as many people within the community get involved. Many times the Halloween dress up has carried into being able to dress up for different themed days at school. We also have attended an annual pumpkin carving at the Calamus SRA in October. We get to hang out with my sister's family and carve pumpkins together during the day. Then all those in the campsite set up their carvings on display as many people from the area drive out just to check out the decorating. It is really quite the event and enjoyed by many.
