I grew up in Wichita, KS, attending USD259 throughout the duration of my k-12 education. After graduating Wichita East High School I went on to study History, Government, and Social Studies Education at Friends University, with a minor in music. I was involved heavily in instrumental music (Concert Band and Jazz Band in particular) throughout High School and College. Throughout college I worked a number of different jobs; among other things I spent a few years at Starbucks, a few summers as a truck driver for an ice company, and a stint at a warehouse. I grew up watching Lord of the Rings, Marvel, Star Wars, and all that jazz. I enjoy gaming from time to time, but often find myself too busy these days to delve deep into it. I also love TTRPGs like Dungeons and Dragons, Savage Worlds, or Call of Cthulu, all of which have allowed me to stay in close contact with my childhood friends (because it gives us an excuse to see each other regularly). This is my second year with USD490, let's get this show on the road!
