Profile and Professional Experience
It is an honor to have served my entire professional career in the School District of Milton. I received my undergraduate degree in history and secondary education from St. Norbert College in the spring of 1997 and started my teaching and coaching career at Milton High School that fall. I served in the social studies department for 11 years, teaching classes in history, government, and current and social issues. During that time, I also was an assistant coach on the varsity football team. I received my Masters of Science degree in Educational Administration from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2002 and was given the privilege to be principal of MHS in the fall of 2008. My wife and I live in the Milton School district and have three sons who all attend Milton schools. We are very proud of the district and the education it is providing our children. I see my role as one that serves all the families of Milton High School and work to provide the kind of education I want for my children to all students in our school.
