All+About+Me.

I have had the privilege of teaching high school students for the past eight years. I grew up in Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for three years prior to transferring to Northwestern College in St. Paul, Minnesota where I earned my undergraduate degree in Social Studies Education in 2003. I went on to complete my Master's degree in Education at Hamline University in May 2007. Since then, I have taken additional graduate coursework at Augsburg College and UW-Madison. I taught in various schools in the greater Minneapolis area for six years, teaching various social studies disciplines (Geography, US History, Government, Economics, Psychology, etc.) and coaching soccer, golf, and lacrosse. In 2009, my wife and I moved to Korea and began to teach at Korea International School where I have had the privilege of teaching US History and AP US History. I have also served as the assistant boys' soccer coach and mock trial adviser while at KIS.

Outside of the classroom, I have numerous interests. I enjoy almost any sport and am particularly fond of any Wisconsin sports team. I continue to play soccer, run, and bike for fun. I'm also an avid soccer and basketball referee. Outside of athletics, I love to travel (I've been to about 15 different countries in the past two years), cook (anything that my wife will eat!), read, and play a bit of guitar.
