Director of Technology
I have taught for East Central since the 1997-1998 school year. During the first 13 years, I taught at the Crossroads Learning Center. Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, I was transferred up to the K-12 building. I have taught all levels of mathematics and also some computer classes during my tenure at East Central. In January of 2012, I appointed the Director of Technology for East Central.
Some of the school activities I have been involved are:
- Webmaster since September 2000
- Track Coach since 2007, Head Track coach beginning in 2008
- Cross Country Coach since 2008
- Running the clock and announcing at several basketball, football, and volleyball games
- Marching Band during the summer as an adult chaperone
- Serving as House Manager for several plays & musicals
I have two children who are both graduates of East Central. They both went on to college after high school. Will graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth and Beth graduated from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Both are married and Will has two sons.
My wife and I were married in the summer of 2024. She works for Dakota County. We initially met in college in 1989, had separate marriages, and eventually came back together in 2020.
I graduated from St. Cloud State University in 1993. In the 93-94 school year, I taught for the Long Prairie/Grey Eagle school district. From 1994 to 1997, I taught for St. Cloud State in their Math Skills Center, being Co-Director for the last two school years. I also taught for Anoka/Ramsey Community College in 1997.
I was heavily involved with the Boy Scouts of America. Including my years as a youth, I have over 35 years of being a registered Boy Scout in the books. I have served in many positions and at several different levels. Currently, I am the Committee Chair for Troop 187 (both the Boys troop & Girls troop) in Askov and serve on the Advancement Committee for the Voyageurs Area Council (covering Northern Minnesota & Northern Wisconsin). I stepped down from this in the fall of 2023.
