Went to Michigan State University and majored in Psychology. Had a great time - played lacrosse for MSU (1 year) and a lot of hockey. Studied abroad in the UK and traveled Europe.

Moved to Florida to attend the University of Florida (Go Gators) for grad school. Played ice hockey for UF. Transferred to University of Northern Colorado to pursue Ph.D. in School Psychology. Got married in 2004 to my lovely bride, Sarah.

Coached college track and cross-country at UNC for 3 years, climbed a lot of mountains in Colorado and Peru. Completed the Florida Ironman Triathlon in 2004, South Africa in 2012, Leadville 100 mile trail run in 2006 and Western States in 2012, and now run many marathons and ultra-marathons.

Moved to China to work in an international school in 2007. Was challenged by the culture but it was an amazing experience. We have seen just about everything we wanted to see in Southeast Asia by traveling frequently.

Our first child, a girl, was born in Hong Kong in 2009 and our second girl was born in the USA in 2010.

We moved to South Africa in July, 2010 to work in an international school. Stayed 4 years and loved the country. Moved to Doha, Qatar, in 2014 and did not love any part of it. We left after two years.

Now we are at a fabulous school in India and love it. It is exciting, professional, noisy, and fun. Sarah works in HS English and I am the HS counselor. Our girls are doing well here.

I think it is hilarious how we used to walk in to English class, put our books on the desk, and hop out the window to the courtyard where we would stay all class, hop in, and move on. The teacher would peak out and say, "Do you want to come in?" and we would say, "Nope." We didn't do a damn thing in that class.
