I met my wife, Sarah, 21 years ago while working at a summer camp in Pennsylvania. After marrying in 2005, we moved to Nebraska in 2007. Sarah is a K-6 PE teacher in the Conestoga School District in Murray, NE. We live at Beaver Lake with our three children: Elizabeth, 10th grade; Matthew, 8th grade; Abigail, 6th grade; and our dog, Jake (named after a recent quarterback for the Georgia Bulldogs).

It changed a lot, but I knew I wanted to work with kids.

Starburst

I have found a love of lifting weights and cycling everyday. 🙂

What’s your favorite thing to do on the weekends?
Coming soon- watching football!

What piece of advice would you give parents to help their child(ren) succeed at St. Stephen?
Be patient and supportive of your child’s efforts. When kids get frustrated, they sometimes forget that the adults in their life are on their team, and want to see them succeed as much as they do. Remind them that you are their biggest fan!
