I was born and raised in Minnesota.  I attended college in Minnesota and Wisconsin where I played college baseball, basketball, and recieved my teaching degree.  During my teaching career I have had the opportunity to teach Pre K – 12^th Physical Education, Adaptive Physical Education, and Health Education in three great school districts.  During that time I have also coached Varsity Baseball, Varsity Volleyball, Varsity Boys and Girls Basketball, and have been a Middle School Boys and Girls Basketball Coach.  I am thankful my athletics participation, coaching experiences, and teaching career over the years have shaped me into a very well rounded teacher and coach.  I am very proud to be a part of, and work with, the great administration, staff, and students of the Creede School District.  GO Miners!!!
