I've been teaching at Sauk Centre since 2022. I currently teach Geometry. I grew up in Little Sauk, MN on a Dairy Farm. I went to the University of Minnesota-Morris for my secondary mathematics education. After completing my degree at UMM, I went to SDSU (GO JACKS) and earned my Masters Degree in Sport Pedagogy. I currently live in Sauk Centre with my kids, Benjamin and Natalee. We love being active, spending time outdoors, mountain biking and wrestling. The best thing about a basketball court is wrestling mats door to door.
