My wife, Kelly, and I have two young children – Adi and Tate. I enjoy reading, growing my faith, sports, and spending time with my family. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a business teaching degree and marketing with an emphasis in sales degree. I started as a Business Teacher at Pleasantville in 2013 and also became an At-Risk Teacher and Activities Director. I was also a head boys golf coach, head boys basketball coach, and head volleyball coach. I was inspired to be an educator by seeing the impact my parents had on kids as educators. My wife, mother-in-law, sister, and brother-in-law also work in various roles in education.
