It is my absolute privilege to partner with you through your child's elementary school years!  I began my career in USD 232 in 1996 and have seen so much positive growth! I have taught in the elementary and middle school settings in both general and special education.  I have Bachelor's Degrees in Business Administration and Elementary Education and Master's Degrees in Special Education and Educational Leadership.  Prior to working in the field of education, I was a Facility Manager for Central Parking Sytems, Inc. working at both the Westin and Hyatt Regency Hotels.  

I come from a family of educators.  My wife, Marci, teaches kindergarten in the Turner School District and my two daughters, Malorie and Emilie, are teachers in USD 232.  I'm an avid trail runner and have completed 11 ultramarathons.  In my spare time I also enjoy mountain biking and golf.
