I am the Student Services Specialist at Waukee Middle School. I have been working in the education field for over 30 years because I find helping others very rewarding. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree from Central Missouri State University and a Master's Degree in Counselor Education from Iowa State University. My wife Alyson is a 5th grade teacher at Jefferson Elementary in D.M. and we have three children, ages 14, 13 and 7. I enjoy running, bicycling, photography, listening to music and spending time with my family and friends.
