My wife, Ashlie, and I are originally from Princeton, MO. We have two amazing boys, Corbin and Callao and we are expecting our third this fall! Following high school, I attended the University of Missouri, where I graduated in 2000 with a degree in Agricultural Economics. I then attended Northwest Missouri State University and obtained my teaching certification in 2002. I spent my first two years teaching at West Platte High School in Weston, MO, and then moved on to King City High School where I worked for the next four years. In 2008, I was fortunate enough to begin teaching at MHS. I teach American History, American West and Personal Finance. Besides my duties in the classroom, I am also an assistant coach for the football team and the head girls and boys track coach.
