I have been teaching Social Studies and coaching since the Fall of 2002. Following two years at Knoxville High School I started at Rock Falls High School in the Fall of 2004. After coaching both football and track at both schools for over a decade the last four years I have spent coaching my son in football, basketball, and baseball. I have a vast array of interests outside of school; the first (and most fun) of these is spending time with my son (Aiden). I also enjoy (or am addicted to depending on who you ask), fishing, traveling, hard rock / metal concerts (with a few country ones unfortunately), shooting bows, option football (the academies), college basketball, the Chicago professional sports teams, reading, spending time with family, all things track and field, weight lifting, stock market (investing), biking, etc.
