I grew up in Conrad MT, and then attended Carroll College in Helena.  I graduated in 2002 with a BA in Social Science, and the next chapter of life saw my wife and I in the great state of Nevada, where I worked in the commercial and residential construction field for a number of years and coached.  My classroom teaching started in 2008 in 6th grade Social Studies.  I moved on to a very diverse classroom experience teaching auto mechanics, to architectural drafting, to inhouse discipline. The next chapter saw us move from Nevada to Jackson Wyoming.  In Jackson we were blessed with the birth of out daughter, and the great experience teaching in the shadow of the Tetons.  Finally, back to Montana, close to family, and finding ourselves in the awesome district of East Helena!
