Education
I have been a teacher at Summerfield Elementary School since 2002. I hold a Bachelor degree from Eastern Michigan University with an emphasis in elementary education. I also have endorsements for teaching middle school math and language arts.
Family
I grew up in Raisinville township just outside of Maybee, Michigan. I am a product of Monroe Public Schools having attended Raisinville Elementary School, Cantrick, Monroe Junior High and Monroe High School. I enjoy reading books and traveling around the great state of Michigan. I am happily married to my wife, Martha. Together we have 3 children: Jared, Mason and MaKenna. My wife is a Registered Nurse in the open heart ICU unit at Mercy St. Vincent's Hospital in Toledo, OH. Our family fell in love with the Petersburg community so much that we moved to Petersburg in 2010.
My oldest son, Jared, loves to tinker with anything mechanical and is an avid hunter, who enjoys going to West Virginia several times a year to hunt and fish with his grandpa and uncles. My middle son, Mason, enjoys reading, playing with his friends and most of all attending a variety of camps during the Summer. My daughter, MaKenna, likes to ride her bike, play on the slides and monkey bars at the park and she absolutely loves taking gymnastics classes. We share our home with a variety of pets. We have two rabbits, two gerbils, one dog, one cat, three fish and ten ducks who stay with us from May until the start of the Monroe County Fair in August.
