I am a native of Belleville, Illinois. I graduated from Belleville West High School in 2009 and Illinois College in 2013 with a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Math Education. I taught math at the District 201's Alternative Program from 2014-2016 and then Grant Middle School from 2016-2018. I have been in Mascoutah School District #19 ever since! While I love teaching, I also enjoy coaching football. I am the Offensive Coordinator for our varsity football team. I am happily married to my wife, Katie, who is a principal in Missouri. My wife and I have a beautiful baby girl named Sophia.
