I was born and raised in my favorite state, Michigan. My father was a Lutheran teacher for many years and went back to the seminary to be a pastor when I was in the 5th grade. Needless to say I moved around quite a bit. I went to about six different schools, but was lucky enough to spend all my high school years in Carleton, Michigan and graduated from Airport High School in 1996. Go Jets!
I then went on to Concordia, Ann Arbor and graduated in December of 2000. Go Cardinals! I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Mathematics and Psychology. I also met my beautiful wife, Lori. We never dated in college, but I was her favorite poor college buddy that she always borrowed milk from. She was secretly in love with me from the start...
In March of 2001, I moved to Ohio because Lori was here and that is where I wanted to be. I was called as the 7th grade teacher at Redeemer and have been here ever since. I took over as principal in June of 2007. The biggest joys in my life are my crazy daughters, Mallory & Elise. Mallory was born in March of 2006, and Elise was born in July of 2009.
I look forward to leading Redeemer for many years to come as we continue to grow in our mission and ministry!
