Our Family

I am in my second term as a Lake Elmo Planning Commissioner, I am a citizen representative for the 3M PFC Settlement Workgroup, and I served on the Stillwater School District's Community Design Team as a Lake Elmo city planning representative.

For the last three years I have worked at the Minnesota Department of Education.  I created and now manage the test security program to help ensure the security and integrity of statewide assessments for our students.

I taught in the Minnesota region of Teach for America and have managed state programs related to quality assurance, state and federal compliance, and program auditing for over a decade. My priorities as a civil servant have always been to prioritize how best we can serve the public today and in the future.

I love golfing with my family and friends, I am an avid gopher sports fan, I am in a gospel vocal quartet group at my local church, and spend as much time as possible being a father and husband for my family. 

I hold an active Minnesota teaching license in 5-12 Social studies, I have a Master's in Teaching Degree from Hamline University, and a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Sociology from the University of Minnesota
