I have lived in the Pardeeville area all of my life. I was born and grew up in Portage before moving to Wisconsin Dells to attend high school. After high school, I earned my double associate degrees in Arts and Science from UW-Baraboo.

I came to teach in Pardeeville after earning my undergraduate degree and certifications in physical, health and adapted physical education from UW-Stevens Point in 2006.

This is my 16th year of teaching physical education in the Pardeeville Area School District.

I've been happily married to my wife Tina for 25 years. I have two children, Nathan and Sydney, and a loving English golden retriever whose name is Coby. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors and all types of sports, fitness and leisure activities, such as weight training, running, walking, triathlon, hunting and fishing.
