I was born and raised in La Crosse, WI. I attended grade school at Holy Trinity. I graduated from Aquinas High School. From there, I graduated from St. John's University in Collegeville, MN with a degree in English. I earned my teaching degree from Viterbo University. I have been teaching at Aquinas for 25 years. I started in the middle school where I taught both seventh and eight grades. I moved on to the high school and have taught freshman, junior and senior English and a variety of elective courses. I live on the south side of La Crosse with my wife and two children. We also have a black Labrador puppy.

MY CLASSROOM
I start the year trying to set students up for success by letting them know how my class operates. They get a clear view of the systems they need to understand early in the year. A typical class in my room goes from opening to closing bell. Students will be expected to listen, take notes, participate in discussions, and complete assignments. We cover a lot of material which means students have to study to do well on quizzes and tests.
