I was fortunate to become part of the Wabasha-Kellogg team in July of 2023. I knew very early on in the superintendent selection process that the school and community would be a “good-fit” for me. I was also fortunate to be able to purchase a home not far from school and immediately fell in love with this beautiful part of the state.
Most of my life has been spent at school in some form. I grew up and graduated from Cyrus High School in the Midwest part of the state. My math teaching and coaching career started in northern Minnesota, Greenbush-Middle River, and my wife and two sons moved closer to family when I became principal at West Central area (14+ yrs). Since my principalship, I have worked licensing at the MN Department of Education, served as the Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City Superintendent (4+ yrs), and spent time in the private sector.
When I am asked about my beliefs and visions for WK, the answer is quite simple, Our role is to provide an educational experience in order to help develop “Good Smart Kids”
I am proud to have the opportunity to be part of that very endeavor as a WK Falcon!
