I was born and raised in Pella, graduating in 1986 from Pella High School. I started in the Maintenance Department in 2010, currently working as a sub bus driver and HS Special Education associate for the district. I have been coaching since 1992 in either the football, basketball, or softball programs. I’ve been married to my wife, Jan, since 1990, and we have 2 children, Jazz and Jake. I like to stay active by going to my children’s activities, playing golf, working on sprint cars, or going to sporting events with my family. One of my goals every day is to enjoy the day and have fun while doing so.
