Originally I am from Plano, IL which isn't too far from Chicago. Yes I do have an accent. I currently reside in Edmond, OK with my wife, Amanda, and I have almost been married for 7 years. We have two rescue dogs that take up a lot of our time and space. We hope to expand our family in the future so we're really looking forward to that. I played a lot of sports growing up until narrowing down to basketball and golf in High School. I ended up getting a golf scholarship to the University of St. Francis which led me to my first job out of college being in Duncan, Oklahoma. Quite the culture shock. My passion of teaching and coaching has been spurred on by being a student-athlete, having great coaches growing up, being from a family of teachers, and also being a teacher/coach myself. The last 10 years of my career I've either been a teacher or coach. I understand that coaches have a lot on their plate so I'm excited to partner with them to help them accomplish their fundraising goals. I'd love to talk with you about how Vertical Raise can help your program!
