I grew up in Bridgeport, just south of Assaria, and am a 1996 graduate of Southeast of Saline.  I attended Kansas State University and received my degree in 2000.  I have taught in four school districts over my career; Goodland, Southern Cloud, Marais des Cygnes Valley, and now at Southeast of Saline.  I help coach football, basketball, and track at the junior high and high school levels.
