I have worked in the field of Special Education since 2016. I recently worked for Missouri Schools for the Severely Disabled as a Director before coming to Concordia. 

Family:

I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have two children together. We live on the family farm where we raise cattle and have field crops. I also raise poultry with my children. My children are involved in farm and taking part in the love for AG. My daughter shares my love for basketball and currently plays for her school team and a travel team. My son loves creating and building. He is a big reason for my career choice as he is a Special Needs child.
