Meet the Principal

Welcome!

I’m excited to be your BEA High School Principal! My wife and I were excited to move our family to Blue Earth and raise our three children, Aiden, Addison, and Aaron in this wonderful community! We have an older daughter, Airyana who is in college in TX studying to become a Radiology Tech. The 23-24 school year will be my fifth year in the district. I spent my first two years at BEA as the Assistant Principal at the K7 Building, and am now in my third year as the High School Principal. 

Prior to working at BEA, I spent seven years teaching for Saint Cloud Area School District as a Special Education Emotional Behavioral Disorders Teacher. Prior to my career in education I worked as a youth treatment counselor for a juvenile detention center. I have a passion to provide students with the opportunity to succeed not only on their educational journey, but in life as well. Outside of school, I enjoy working on our hobby farm, watching sports, traveling, and spending time with my family. 

I couldn’t be happier to be a part of this wonderful community!
