![]() This is my 32nd year as a principal and my 42nd year in education. I started as a teacher and coach in Jackson, Minnesota, and then moved to Apple Valley High School. I began my career as a principal at Wells-Easton High School and helped to bring four other districts together to form United South Central. I was a principal in Willmar, Minnesota, and then had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to open a new high school in Rochester, Minnesota. With luck, great staff and students, and supportive parents, Century High School quickly became a great school recognized at both the state and national levels. I left Century High School eight years ago to become a school superintendent and then faced some enormous life challenges with my wife’s pancreatic cancer the past five years. We sent her to heaven in early 2018. Prior to joining BA, I was fortunate to be selected to be the principal at Hill-Murray School in Maplewood. In many ways it was the best job that I have ever had so it was a gut-wrenching decision to leave that job when my wife’s cancer returned. This is my fourth and final year at Bethlehem Academy. I hope to make this year my best year and promise to always focus on the “good stuff.” I ride an ordinary bike about 3000 miles each year for relaxation and the world always looks better after a bike ride.
