I attended Central College and I have been teaching Spanish since 2013 and began at Pella in 2019. My wife, Megan, and I were married in 2014 and we have one daughter, Olivia. I love traveling, reading, tennis, wrestling, and baseball, especially the Cubs. One of my biggest goals in life is to visit all 20 Spanish-speaking countries and Puerto Rico. As of 2026, I have been to Spain, Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Ecuador.
