I have been in education for nineteen years, including the last four years here at West Salem High School. Previous to that, I taught at Wonewoc-Center High School for fifteen years. I was also the head track coach for fourteen of those fifteen years. I am originally from Ontario, Wisconsin where I went to Brookwood High School. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and received bachelor's degrees in Wildlife Management and Biology. I currently am the advisor for the Ecology Club and FFA.
