| After moving to Stillwater as a young child, I was raised in Stillwater, graduated from Stillwater Area High School, and now my wife Emily and I are raising our family here. I teach English at my high school alma mater, Stillwater Area High School and also teach at the college level with The College of St. Scholastica - St. Paul. I hold a BA in English, UW-Madison; Master's of Secondary Education (English), UW-River Falls; and Doctoral Degree in Educational Leadership, Hamline University. I have a passion for teaching and building relationships with my students. Since 2010, I have served as union president of out teachers' union St. Croix Education Association. As a union leader, I have broad experiences in bringing different groups together and navigating through difficult situations for the common good of our students, my colleagues, and our school district. |
