I have been an educator for 15 years, with this being my 4th year with WERC.  Previously, I have had experience as an elementary teacher, principal, and superintendent. I enjoy leading teams towards the path of improvement.  

I grew up on a family farm in Regent, ND. I am a proud veteran of the ND Army National Guard, being honorably discharged in 2015. During my time in the military, I was a bridgebuilder and a heavy equipment operator. I enjoy staying involved in local athletics as a coach and official.
