I began teaching in 2019. I went back to school after 12+ years as a contractor doing construction and remodel work and received my bachelors degree in Industrial Technology Education. I live in Orange City with my wife, Tammy, who also works at the high school as a special education paraeducator. We have two kids, James and Emma, and a dog named Jasmine. When I’m not making things or teaching students, I love being outdoors hiking, camping, cycling, backpacking, mountain biking, climbing, and basically anything else that gets me out into nature. I am also a leader for our local scout troop.
I grew up in Ethan, SD. I graduated from Northwestern College with a degree Elementary Education and endorsements in K-12 special education and coaching. I am also coaching freshman girls’ basketball at MOC-FV.
I graduated from South Dakota State University with my BA in Agriculture Education in 2016. I have been married to my husband for a year and half we enjoy spending time together outside with our dog, Charlie.
I am a nurse in both the Middle School and High School locations. I am married to Mark, who serves as an Air Force Crew Chief. We have three children; Landan, Ava, and Paxtan. I like to read, write and be involved in the community. As a family we enjoy camping, off-roading in our jeep and playing cards or board games.

I grew up in northwest Iowa, and graduated from Northwestern College in 2015, receiving my B.A. in Music Education. At the high school, I co-direct the Pride of the Dutchmen Marching band with Mr. Mangold, and teach our top jazz ensemble. I also teach middle school band lessons and direct the 7th and 8th grade jazz bands. My wife, a 4th grade teacher at Orange City Elementary, and I are both very proud to teach for MOC-Floyd Valley Schools!
I spent the first 10 years of my life in Upstate New York, and ever since I have lived in Orange City, Iowa. I live with my wife Amanda (middle school choir) and our dog Margie. I graduated from Northwestern College in 2017 and have loved working at MOC- Floyd Valley ever since. Besides directing the middle school concert and marching bands, I enjoy assisting with our high school marching band every fall.
