About Me


Education:  I graduated in 1995 from Central High School located in Norwood, Minnesota.  I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Life Science Education from Minnesota State University, Mankato.  I have since acquired numerous additional teaching licenses including; Earth Science, Life Science, and Chemistry (Grades 9-12), and Middle School Science (Grades 5-8).  In December 2009, I obtained my Masters of Science - Science Education from Bemidji State University.

Family:  I have three children - Kieran (17 years old), Luke (15 years old) and Alexandra (13 year old) who I generally call Lex or Lexy.  We have a very busy household with the boys spending as much time outside as possible and Lex doing her best to keep up with her older brothers.

Interests:  I belong to several professional societies like the Minnesota Science Teachers Association, National Science Teachers Association, Minnesota Geological Society, The Geological Society of America to name a few.  I am also currently serving on the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Earth Science Teachers Association and the Minnesota Center for Mineral Resource Education.  My kids and I enjoy camping, including an annual week-long trip on the North Shore or the Gunflint Trail.  We also spend our time rooting for our favorite football teams, the Central Raiders and Minnesota Vikings.  One of these years the teams will make it all worthwhile for us!

  1. Hello (I think you are "Brian"), I came across your post on the Carver Rapids. I moved to Carver 9+ years ago from Moorhead. (Grandchildren, of course.) I've known about the river boats not being able to advance past the rapids, but I've never understood where the rapids are. From your post I gather that they are not always visible, but I'd like to know where to go looking for them. Do you know the coordinates? I'm no outdoorsy guy but have a curiosity about a few odd things--like knowing where the rapids are. Thanks. 80 also known as AT also known as Arne (ah! today's date, in case it is not automatically posted, is 05/26.2024
