About Me: I am married to my best friend and we built our first home together in Winter 2007. Last summer we purchased a yellow lab puppy as the first addition to our family. My wife's name is Gina and our dog's name is Maddy. Maddy will do anything for a puppy treat. Currently, I teach German at the High School level. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Missouri, Columbia, and a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration from Lindenwood University. In addition, I am working toward my Doctoral Degree in Educational Leadership at Maryville University with an expected graduation date in 2011.
