About Me

Picture
Personal Statement: 
Into my 14th school year now I have been most fortunate to have the types of experiences that I have. I received my training in Social Studies Secondary Education from St. Cloud State University before beginning a career that has taken me to public and private schools in China, Minnesota, and now Omaha, Nebraska. Continuing my development as an instructor I completed a Masters degree in geography with a specialization in geographic education at the University of Nebraska Omaha in 2019. Presently, I am working on completing coursework as a Ph.D. student in Geography (again with a geography education emphasis) at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.

An avid traveler, I have been fortunate to have participated in personal and private experiences that have taken me to over 30 countries on 6 continents. I have had the opportunity to learn from and work with many amazing educators as a Fulbright Teacher for Global Classrooms, Goethe Institute Trans-Atlantic Outreach Program Fellow, and as a National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellow.

Beyond teaching I enjoy spending time with my wife Jill, traveling abroad and around the United States, photography, and staying active playing hockey and hiking.  

Research Statement:
Through practice and research I am working to better understand the skills and content knowledge needed to deliver highly effective instruction in geography. Building upon the work completed during my Masters thesis, I want to look at what types of commitments in terms of pre-service education, professional development, and time are necessary to develop instructors who are confident in their content knowledge and pedagogy. I believe geographic knowledge is crucial for the development of students and teachers at all levels should be given the support they need to provide students with high quality instruction.
