This is my 4th year teaching at Coon Rapids High School. This year I am teaching the courses of English 12, Debate, and TV Journalism. In the past I have also taught courses for Anoka-Hennepin School District #11 such as Honors Debate, Public Speaking, English 9, and English 10.

In my spare time I enjoy baking, reading, running, and listening to music. My lovely wife and I live in north Minneapolis with our two cats. I recently completed the Twin Cities Marathon for a second time and have some Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls rising as I quickly type up this note. Mmmmmm.

Three years ago I took over as head coach of the Coon Rapids Speech Team. If you have no idea what Speech is and are ready to join a growing team, check us out. I've put together a PowerPoint presentation on our team page where you can learn about the entire experience and all 13 different categories.

Last year a colleague and I started up the first ever Knowledge Bowl Team at Coon Rapids High School. I volunteer my time as coach and our teams will compete in three tournaments this year.
