My Thursday 'Principal's Page' can be downloaded each week.  Look at the  Documents section for the quick download.  It will be in a pdf format.

Our new Gym/Family Life Center is coming along nicely.  They still say we will have access the first week of December.  We are trying to get the best possible surface for the floor - the multipurpose synthetic floor, instead of the tile.  I wrote to all our school families letting thme know what we need.  If you would like to help us make that a reality, please contact me.  Several families have stepped forward to say they will pledge some of their financial blessings so we can make this happen.  I am confident the Good Lord will provide what we need.

They are still terrible...

but we love em!

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 joy in my life is my crazy daughter, Mallory.  She was born in March of 2006 and is the greatest thing in the world!

I look forward to leading Redeemer for many years to come as we continue to grow in our mission and ministry!
