I have been in the education profession for the past 29 years with the last 13 as principal at BGM.  My previous stops have been in Bowling Green , Missouri, Dearborn, Missouri, Strawberry Point, Iowa and Thornton, Iowa. I have a Master's in Science in Secondary Administration from Northwest Missouri State and a Superintendent Endorsement from UNI. My undergraduate degree is in English and PE from Upper Iowa University. Prior to becoming an administrator I was an English/PE teacher and coach.  In my free time I enjoy golfing, watching sports and reading. My family includes my wife Angie, daughter Monica and stepchildren Erin and husband Travis, Steve, Morgan, and grandchildren L.J. and Laila.
