I am extremely excited to be joining a great school district at Coffeyville and working with the staff and students at Roosevelt Middle School. I grew up in Eastern Colorado and attended Fort Hays State University on a football scholarship.  I began teaching and coaching at the high school level after graduation but soon entered into the collegiate coaching ranks where I spent 7 years.  I have coached almost my entire adult life from youth all the way up to the NCAA Division II level and the last time I counted, I have 60 seasons of coaching under my belt.  Most recently, I was an elementary physical education instructor at USD 465 in Winfield, KS as well as serving as the head freshmen football coach and head 7th grade boys basketball coach.  I also spent the last two years as the high school boys assistant golf coach.  In 20018-19, I was the acting principal at Lowell Elementary in Winfield, KS.  I hold a bachelors degree from Fort Hays State University, a masters degree from Concordia Univeristy Irvine and I received my building leadership certificate from Wichita State University.  I look forward to starting my new role at RMS and am very thankful for the opportunity to work within a school district that is pioneering the way that education looks like in Kansas.
