I am native of Parker, SD and graduated from Parker High School in 1996. I earned a  Bachelor’s Degree in Biology with a minor in Earth Science as well as a teaching endorsement from Black Hills State University in 2001.  I have been teaching Life Science, Earth Science, Biology, and Environmental Science in Parker since 2006.  I am also currently an assistant football coach and JH track coach.

In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my wife, Tressa, and playing with our four children:  Jonas, Sullivan, Dawson, and Ren.  Some of my other hobbies and interests include:  camping, hunting, listening to music, watching movies and reading.
