I began teaching in 1977 at Prague Public School and taught/coached there for two years.  I then moved to central Nebraska to teach and coach 4 years at North Loup-Scotia.  In 1983 I came to Conestoga for my first 20 year stint as teacher, volleyball coach, and track coach.  In 2003 I took a teaching job with Papillion LaVista Public Schools and taught 1 year at Papio South and 4 years at Papillion Junior High.  I also was assistant volleyball coach for two of those years at Papio South.  In 2008 I took early retirement from the state of Nebraska and taught that year (2008-2009) at Hamburg, Iowa.  I returned to Conestoga during the 2009-10 school year and have been here ever since.

I am married to Vicki (a retired foreign language teacher).  I have three grown children and seven grandchildren. 

I love to continue watching sports even though I have retired from coaching.  I spend a lot of my evenings during volleyball and basketball season keeping the scorebook for the Cougars and enjoy that contact with athletes and coaches.

I have been asked by a few, "How many years do you have left?" The answer is simple, I enjoy teaching and as long as I do, I plan to keep on keeping on!
