I grew up and graduated from high school in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. After college, I moved and lived in San Diego, California for 31 years where I met and married my bride in 1992. We have been blessed with five children. We moved to Bismarck in 2018 and I feel very privileged to live here and be part of the University of Mary community. I try to make myself completely available to my students: by phone, by email, and via discord. I love this college because of its mission to instill authentic Catholic values in their students.
