I grew up in Ponca, NE and graduated from Ponca High School. Following graduation, I chose to continue my studies at Wayne State College prior to student teaching at Millard West High School in Omaha, NE. I graduated from college in May of 2015 a few months before marrying the love of my life, Courtney Gehring. We chose to begin our life together here in Grand Island where she had accepted a job, and I am very excited to be working only a short drive from home.
We have 2 furry creatures taking residence in our house. Cosmo (pictured right) was brought into the family last summer. Juno (left) has been our only cat for most of 6 years and is becoming more fond of Cosmo as the time passes. I will be teaching Physical Science, Chemistry, Biology 2, Physics, and Chemistry 2, along with assisting the boys' basketball team and quiz bowl. I'm not sure I can put into words how excited I am to be in the same school for three years. Yay experience!
