I was born and raised in North Dakota.  I am a graduate of Minot State University, Minot North Dakota.  This will be my 11th year at Falcon Middle School.  I am proud to be a FIREBIRD!!  Prior to teaching, I spent time serving my country in the United States Air Force. In my spare time, I like to work in my yard and maintaining a vegetable garden.  I also like to unwind by hiking various trails and to take scenic drives in the mountains.
