I was born in and raised in Eastern Montana (Colstrip).  After high school, I attended Dickinson State University for two years before transferring to MSU-Billings.  I graduated from MSU-B in 2009 with a degree in Health and Human Performance with a teaching option.  My first teaching job was in Roundup, MT, where I taught P.E. and Weights for 9 years before coming to Sidney in 2018.

I have a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from  Rocky Mountain College, and this is my fourth year serving as the high school assistant principal. I am excited to continue to work with the wonderful students and excellent staff of SHS.

My wife, Megan, teaches second grade at West Side Elementary School. We have been married for 16 years and have 3 awesome kids.  Cameron (13) is a seventh-grader at Sidney Middle School.  Collin (11) is a fifth-grader at Central School and Claira (7) is a second-grader at Westside Elementary.
