I grew up on a dairy farm in West Union, Iowa. After graduating from high school, I went to college at the University of Northern Iowa, however my heart is with the Iowa State Cyclones! I have a love for sports, playing football, basketball, golf, and baseball in high school. I then went on to coach football and baseball for the 4 years in Cedar Falls. I am currently a football and baseball coach for Pleasant Valley.
In my free time, I love to work on my house, hang out with my friends and family, and read. My dog, Buddy, and I love to go on walks, play fetch, and go to the dog park to meet new friends. Even with all of that, the thing that I love to do most is to spend time with my daughter, Hallie, and my wife, Kelsey. |
My Family |
On the dairy farm, my parents, John and Jan, raised not only myself, but also my two older, twin sisters. My dad still continues to crop farm, but has retired from the milking business. My mom worked for the AEA in West Union as a Speech Pathologist, but has also recently retired. She now works part time as a library assistant at their local library. My sister, Jessie, works as a Hospital Consultant in Boston, Mass. My other sister, Jaci, works as a Pharmacist in Pennsylvania.
On July 2nd, 2016, I married my wife, Kelsey. Kelsey currently works for the AEA as a teacher. Before that, she taught 4th Grade at Central Dewitt Schools. One cool fact about Kelsey is that she graduated from Pleasant Valley School District AND went to Cody Elementary! On October 15th, 2018, our lives were blessed with our beautiful daughter, Hallie. She is the highlight of our lives and gives us so much joy each and every day. We are excited for her to turn TWO in October! |
