All+About+Me...

I was raised in Watertown, Wisconsin (between Milwaukee and Madison, for those of you familiar with Wisconsin's geography) with my parents and two siblings, one sister and one brother, both younger than me. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for three years until I transfered to Northwestern College, in St. Paul, MN. After graduating with a B.S. in Social Studies Education in 2003, I married my wife, Jamie, and have taught in the Twin Cities for the past six years before coming to KIS this year! In 2007, I earned my M.A. in Education and wrote my thesis on gifted education. Last summer, my wife and I had the privilege of teaching in China for one month and absolutely loved teaching overseas, which led us to come pursue international teaching full time, which led us here. (By the way, Jamie teaches pre-kindergarten at the Gaepo Campus).

We absolutely love living in South Korea and have met so many wonderful people and we look forward to meeting many wonderful students while here!
