Biography

I grew up in Ramona, SD where I graduated from Oldham-Ramona High School in 1995.  From there, I attended Dakota State University where I got a bachelor's degree in Business Education and an Associate's Degree in Business Management in December of 1999.  After graduating from DSU, I spent one semester teaching business/computer classes in Wagner, SD starting in January of 2000. Beginning in the fall of 2000, I began teaching in Lake Preston, SD where I am still currently teaching.  At Lake Preston, I have taught JH/HS computers, business, psychology, and sociology classes. During my time at Lake Preston, I have coached cross country, track, and basketball.  I am currently the head boy's basketball and JH track coach.  Over the years, I have moved into a leadership role in technology at the school.  I spend time helping the technology coordinator as much as possible.

I currently live with my family in Ramona.  My wife, Maren, and I have been married since 2005.  Maren teaches HS English to the Hutterite colonies of South Dakota for the Chester Area Cyberschool.  We have two boys--Caleb (2) and Nolan (8 months).
