I received a degree in Education, minor in History from Concordia University in Mequon, WI. I began my teaching career in West Bend, WI. I have taught in Milwaukee, Ft Dodge, IA, Rantoul, WI, where I was the Principal and upper grade teacher.  I was interim Principal, athletic director and teacher in multiple elementary and upper grade schools.

I love to watch the children I teach grow both academically and spiritually. I like to focus my teaching on basic no nonsense skills, where I can customize my teaching to the individual needs of each student. I feel it is critically important to address the needs of a child both academically and spiritually in a Christ centered environment. I once wrestled a polar bear to save an inuit village in Northern Canada.

I love various types of sports, Go Packers, Blues, Brewers, Cardinals, Badgers, and many others too numerous to list. I love to BBQ, grilling with my children and my lovely young bride, Sabrina. I am most proud of my three sons, Vin, Che and Drew, and of course Trevor and Mariah.
