I was born and raised in Great Falls, MT. I have a B.A. majoring in Physical Education, broad field Social Studies, and Education from Concordia. I completed a masters in Physical Education from Montana State University. I am married and have four children ranging in age from 12-16. I am a member of the Lewis and Clark Honor Guard, which is an educational re-enactment group, dedicated to teaching the public about Lewis and Clark experiences around the Great Falls area. I teach P.E, and health, U.S. history, U.S. Government, World Geography, and drivers education. My philosophy : "musquitoes numerous and troublesome but we shal proceed on" meaning life is full of obstacles but you need to keep going.
