I spent 20 years performing in churches, teaching both voice and guitar. I have written over 100 songs and have led small and large bands. I also have a masters in missional theology, which I used to plant and lead churches over the past 20 years. While leading churches, I coached leaders of all ages to be better at what they do and accomplish their goals. During COVID, I returned to school and got my master's in education from Edgewood College and a teaching license. I have been teaching for the past 4 years in private schools in Wisconsin. I firmly believe that leaders and learners are not born. They are made. Education is the primary way that we grow as humans and become who we were made to be. I am passionate about seeing people learn and grow in their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a student learn something new.

I love music, movies, art, television, history, and science fiction. One of my passions is playing guitar and singing. My favorite recent book series is The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I am a physically active person working out daily. I enjoy skiing in the Winter months and playing ultimate frisbee in the Summer.
