Experience
Central Lutheran School, St. Paul, MN - 3 years
Biography
I grew up in St. Paul and went to Central Lutheran School (K-8). I graduated from Concordia Academy in 2000. I received my B.S. in Education with an emphasis in teaching Social Studies, a B.S. in History, and a minor in Coaching from the University of Minnesota-Duluth in 2006. My first teaching job was right here at Central Lutheran School, and I have been here for three years. I am also the Athletic Director at CLS as well.
In my free time I enjoy traveling to baseball parks in the summer (16 down, 14 to go). I enjoy going to concerts and other sporting events throughout the year.
My greatest joy in working in a Christian School...
Is being able to teach the word of God to students and to help show them how God should be the center of all their aspects of life.
