Personal:
I am a social studies teacher at Shawnee Mission South High School in Overland Park, Kansas. I teach AP American Government, AP Micro, AP Macro, and other classes from time to time. Outside of teaching, I enjoy sports, watching the news, personal finance, and spending time with my family. My wife, Marty, and I have 3 children. We love to go to the lake, and go on vacations together.
