I was born in Casper, WY and raised most of my early years in Rawlins, WY. I moved to Fort Collins and graduated from Rocky Mountain High School. After High School, I attended Black Hills State and competed in Football, prior to transferring to the University of Nebraska at Kearney and graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology Education. Additionally, I completed my Masters Degree in School Leadership through Concordia University Chicago. I started my career in Oregon serving as a Football Coach, Science Teacher, Dean of Students, and Athletic Director. 

I have been married for four years, and my wife and I enjoy the outdoors. I am an avid Nebraska Huskers and Texas A&M Aggies fan, and enjoy all college athletics. 

This will be my second year at Highland High School, and I look forward to working with students, families and the community. Go Huskies!
