My high school experiences include being on the Teddies varsity tennis, 
golf, and basketball teams.  I graduated in the top 10 in the class of 1992 
and wrote for the school newspaper.

I attended the University of St. Thomas for one year of college, then 
tranferred to Mankato State University earning a Bachelor's Degree in both 
social studies and geography.  In college I was a member of the GEOTEACH 
program at MSU.  I was in schools for two years prior to graduation,

St. Peter.  I student taught for 1 quarter at Humboldt High School on the 
westside of St. Paul.  I earned a Master's Degree in education from Saint 
Mary's University in 2003.

My wife and I have lived in Cannon Falls since 2002.  I have a three sons,
Lucas, Drew, and Kellan.  We also have one dog, a basset hound, Hank.  We
enjoy anything and everything outdoors, especially fishing and camping.  Our
summers are usually spent travelling the United States, usually going to Texas
and Washington DC to visit friends.

The only two jobs I have ever had are working for Rainbow Foods (1989-2000) 
and Cannon Falls School District (1997-present).  I have learned a lot about 
people, places, and produce from both jobs!
