To Community Members of the School District of Manawa:

I am honored to serve as the District Administrator for the School District of Manawa. Every day, I get to work with the most amazing students and staff in Manawa.

I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in History and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh. My teaching certification and Master's degree were earned from Concordia University of Wisconsin and Marian University. While serving as an educator, I continued my journey into educational leadership by completing certifications for licensure as a Principal and Superintendent in Wisconsin.

I spent several years teaching middle and high school Social Studies in addition to serving as an alternative education coordinator. My focus was being a champion for the underdog and helping every student find success at school. As I continued my professional development, I served students, staff, and families as a High School Assistant Principal, a Middle School and High School Principal. 

I live in the Fox Valley with my amazing wife and are raising 4 wonderful children, 2 cats and a dog. We love all things Wisconsin. Most nights, you can find us spending time together while cheering on and mentoring the students from area high schools.  I am excited and very proud to serve the schools of the Manawa Community, Go Wolves!
