BIOGRAPHY

I was raised near Fergus Falls.  We had a place on Wall Lake which led me to be a lifelong fisherman and hunter.  I graduated from Fergus Falls High School in 1985.  I then went to Fergus Falls Community College before attending  the University of North Dakota where I graduated with a degree in science education.  I taught for one year in Grand Forks, four years in Ada, MN and have spent the last 26 years in Benson teaching science.  I also coached basketball for 25 years, baseball for 15 years and football for 12 years.  I married my wife Lynn in 1990.  We have two children.  Beth who is a teacher and coach in the cities and Christian who is a teacher and a coach in Rochester.  All of us enjoy our summers up at our lake place near Fergus Falls.
