Who am I?

I am a husband, father, son, brother, teacher, athlete, and general extrovert.

In May 2008, I completed a Master of Science in Information Media. My concentration is on instructional design and training. I have been working as the Technology Training Coordinator for St. Cloud State Univeristy since 2005.

My background is in education. After receiving my Bachelor of Science in Education from Indiana University in 1996, I spent eight years teaching Middle and High School history, economics, civics, and special education in Minnesota's Edina, Bemidji, and Big Lake Public School systems. I spent fourteen years coaching swimming and diving in Minnetonka, Wayzata, Edina, and Bemidji, Minnesota. I also spent some time coaching at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado.

My Mantra

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results. – Anon
