My roots are here on the Iron Range as I was born and raised in the area and am a graduate of Eveleth-Gilbert High School. I obtained my degree from the University of Minnesota-Duluth with a major in Mathematics Education. In 2011, I completed a Masters Degree in Education from Saint Mary's University. Since 2007, I have been teaching high school math at Mesabi East High School. My wife, four kids, and I are proud to reside here and be a part of the excellent opportunities Mesabi East School District offers.
