I am in my 11th year in education teaching agriculture and serving as an FFA advisor.  This is my first year at Dallas County, I previously taught at Pleasant Hope and Clever.  I live on a farm in Brighton with my wife Alesia (who teaches 6th grade) and my three-year-old daughter Ebby, where my family raises commercial cattle and Berkshire hogs. I really enjoy woodworking, and am currently working on completing a strip-plank canoe out of walnut and ash.  I am passionate about agriculture, enjoy wakeboarding and playing golf, and am a huge St. Louis Blues hockey fan!
