I grew up in the tiny town of Medford, WI (home of Tombstone Pizza!) where I was confirmed from Immanuel Lutheran Church. After graduating from Medford Area Senior High, I attended UW-Madison and graduated with a History degree. Afterward, I received my teaching certificate from University of Illinois-Springfield. I taught at Word of Life Lutheran on Milwaukee’s south side and received my WELS certification. Now, I serve St. Paul’s Franklin as 5/6th grade teacher (as well as 7/8th English) and athletic director.

I am blessed with a wonderful wife, Kayla (who teaches K5 German), and three children that attend St. Paul’s: Will, Press, and Aggie. Our free time is spent at parks, playgrounds, lakes, different sports facilities, and exploring restaurants in Milwaukee. When I have some free time, I enjoy reading, anything with sports, sleeping(!!!!), playing video and board games and finding the worst possible shows and movies to watch.
