About the Teacher

I grew up in the little village of Turtle Lake, Wisconsin.  I graduated High 

School in 1985.  I then "ran away" to attend college at the University of 

Wisconsin - La Crosse.  I graduated in December, 1989 with a Bachelor of 

Science Degree in Broad Field Social Studies.  I have a double major in 

Broad Field Social Studies and History and a minor in Political Science.

I also obtained a Master's Degree in Education - History from the 

University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point.

At college in La Crosse, I met my future wife Sue.  We have two children, 

Erin and Josh. 

I started my teaching career in Bowler, Wisconsin in 1992.  At Bowler I 

taught U.S. History, World History, Civics, and Native American History.  I 

also coached Football and Track.  In 1998, I left Bowler and started my 

current job at Wittenberg-Birnamwood High School.
