Educational background: AA degree from Northland Engineering, BS at BSU Ind. Tech, MS at BSU Voc. Ed

Teaching experience: Two years at Slayton High School and Shetek Vocational Co-op, 1978-present at C-I

I became an educator because I always enjoyed the world of technology and I wanted to share it with others. I also had good vocational instructors in my high school at Thief River Falls, which really helped me with my career plans.

My interests and hobbies include old cars and technology-related items, and also doing mission work in Haiti and Guatemala the past 17 years drilling wells and building hospitals and schools. I have also worked in prisons and jails doing R.E.C. the past five years.
