After attending the University of Nebraska on a football scholarship, I played and coached American football in Salzburg, Austria. After my tenure there, I obtained my teaching license and spent many years coaching and teaching at the high school level in Illinois and Colorado. Before joining the TRMS Staff two years ago, I took a 5-year hiatus from teaching to explore business opportunities and I'm currently a Real Estate Investor and Licensed Realtor. I volunteer in the community and have recently started "Happy Day" as a way to bless people in need of a great birthday party. I am married and the father of five children.
