The 2022-23 school year will be my 18th year in the Conestoga Public School system.  I came to Nebraska from South Dakota, where I was born and raised.  I earned my bachelor's degree from Dakota State University in Madison, SD and my graduate degree from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, SD.  My first teaching job was in Hot Springs, SD, where I spent three years.  I then headed east to Elk Point-Jefferson Public Schools in Elk Point, SD where I taught 5th grade for seven years.  In 2005, I accepted a 5th grade teaching position at Conestoga.  After one year in the 5th grade, I moved to elementary PE.  Again, after one year, I moved to the high school as the Activities Director and JH PE teacher.  I spent eight years as the Activities Director before moving back to the classroom fulltime as a JH Reading, JH PE and HS weights teacher.  This year I will be teaching JH PE/Health & HS Health, and will be helping out with cross country and girls basketball.  I currently live at Beaver Lake with my wife, Jennifer, and our youngest daughter, Gracyn.  My daughter, Matilyn, is a freshman at UNL and my son, Jackson, lives in Lincoln.
