I grew up in Cedar Rapids Iowa with four siblings. As kids we spent a lot of time playing along the Cedar River. I went to Thomas Jefferson High School and moved to Tucson when I was twenty-one.

I love working at Edge because I love helping people learn and grow and at Edge I get to help students learn and grow every day.

Outside of school, I focus on my family, great wife and two boys (well, young men now). I have more than 3000 comic books at home (I always just wanted to save the world). And I play racquetball three times a week.
