My Education Background
I grew up on a dairy farm outside of a small town called Aurelia, Iowa. After high school I attended Morningside College here in Sioux City, double majoring in elementary education and K-12 physical education and obtained endorsements in K-8 reading and coaching. This is my 12th year teaching reading here at West Middle School. I look forward to helping all willing learners improve their reading skills.

My Interests
Outside of school I have many interests. I developed a love for reading while reading personal improvement/development books, biographies on successful people, health, & history. From the time I was a kid I enjoyed sports which led me down a path to high school athletics, weightlifting, eventually I played football at Morningside, and now I coach football & track and run a weightlifting club through Beyond the Bell here at West Middle. I love spending time with my family as my wife & I have 3 kids. I'm also interested in church, business, good food, watching sports & movies, and joking around. I am a fan of the West Middle & West High Wolverines, Los Angeles Dodgers, Kansas City Royals, Iowa Hawkeyes, Chicago Bulls, and San Francisco 49ers (sometimes.)
