About Me
I am a 2017 graduate of the University of North Dakota and played football competitively for the University while gaining my degree in elementary education. I spent my first two years in education teaching and coaching in Frazee, Minnesota. Just down the road from my home of Detroit Lakes.
October 12th, 2019- My wife and I took the leap into marriage and set out to work and live in the San Fransisco Bay Area of California. As Kayli practiced PT, I had the opportunity to coach, substitute teach and begin my masters. Due to COVID-19 we made the move to our home in Detroit Lakes, MN. Shortly after a wonderful summer of working and playing in our home town, we landed jobs forty-five minutes down the road in Battle Lake, Minnesota. 4 years, 1 home and 2 children later I am well into my 4th year of teaching experience at Battle Lake, ISD 542. Currently I am serving as the 4th grade teacher as well as some strength training for high school. I am involved in a variety of coaching positions and teacher leadership groups. We love our life and little town of Battle Lake.
