I’m excited to be part of the Okoboji school community and honored to serve as your interim middle school principal. School is an amazing adventure, and I’m thrilled to walk alongside our students as they navigate their middle school years. I’ve spent the past eight years as Director of Graduate Programs at Buena Vista University, working with aspiring teachers and school leaders, and I bring 15 years of prior experience as a school administrator. My personal motto as an educator has always been to maximize opportunities for kids, and I look forward to doing just that here at Okoboji. On a personal note, I recently celebrated 30 years of marriage with my wife Lisa, who is a school counselor, and we’re proud parents of three college-aged children. I’m looking forward to an amazing year filled with growth, connection, and Pioneer Pride!
