After graduating from high school, I went to college at UW Oshkosh and graduated with a degree in social studies education. While in college I was a member of the basketball team that advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament two seasons in a row. I have been a head boy's basketball coach for four years of my first seven in teaching. I taught my first seven years at Oconto Falls High School.My life has been very hectic and busy while coaching and raising a family that now includes four sons and a dog. My sons range in age from four years old to a week old. Raef is four years old, Sutter is two, Langden is nine months old, and my newest, Easton, is about a week old. My wife Kendra and I just celebrated our seventh year of marriage this summer and have been dating since my senior year of high school.
Some of my hobbies include basketball, camping, playing cards, watching sporting events (Packers and Badgers for sure), playing with my kids and spending time with my family.
Some of my favorite quotes are:
"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, buty by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reation of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst; a spark that creates extraordinary results."
-Anon
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
-Michael Jordan
"Do, or do not. There is no try."
-Yoda
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
-John Wooden
