About Me

Picture
I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in the 7th grade.  I remember having a science teacher that was kind to me and more than being kind she gave me a hope that I could become something more.  Basically, she inspired me.  Since that day I decided I wanted to become a science teacher and help inspire at least one of my students.  My goal has changed over the years and now I hope to inspire all of my students to greatness.


I grew up in Brooklyn Park, MN (near Minneapolis/St. Paul) and went to Robinsdale Cooper for high school.  I graduated with honors, and went to the University of Minnesota in Duluth, MN.  I studied there for six years and received degrees in Biology, Teaching Physics, and Teaching Life Sciences.  Upon graduation I recieved a job outside of Chicago.


Following University I taught at a Christian school outside of Chicago in Aurora, IL.  I taught Physical Science, Biology, and Anatomy and Physiology while there.  After three years I found it was time for me to head back to Minnesota.


Following a summer of no teaching opportunities I found myself applying for a position in Shanghai, China.  My goal was to move closer to home.  On the same day I was offered a full year position in China I was also offered a half year contract with a school in Minnesota.  I was given a weekend to decide.  Upon guidance from my grandfather, I took the position in China.  That year I traveled almost every other weekend.  I had planned on only staying a year in China, and told my students at the start of the year that I would only be there for a year.  During the year I fell in love with the culture and all that is China.  During the winter of my first year I met my now wife.  I continued to teach at the position in Shanghai, China until I was offered another job in a nearby town.  I am starting to teach with Dulwich schools in Suzhou, China.
