My academic and professional background includes film, acting, coaching, and social studies, all of which inform my perspective that we are consistently engaging with the social sciences in everyday life.
I hold degrees in Political Science, Social Studies Education, and Educational Administration. I live on the North Shore with my wife and two children. Outside of school, I enjoy everything the state has to offer, from nature trails to the Wisconsin Badgers.
