I am starting my 24th year of teaching this fall and have taught 8th-grade American History at Beadle for the last 22 years. Before that, I taught 7th-grade geography at Andersen Middle School. My wife Amber and I have been married for 25 years. Together with our two great daughters, Jenna (20) and Allison (17), we love to travel to new MLB stadiums and root for the Huskers, Royals, and Chiefs. This summer, we visited Nashville, the Smoky Mountains, and St. Pete Beach in Florida. We also like to go skiing in the wintertime. At Beadle, I coach girls' intramurals and boys' reserve basketball, as well as co-sponsor the 8th-grade Boston/NYC trip.
