I am very glad to be working at MOC-Floyd Valley Middle School as a Special Education Paraeducator. This is my first year in this position. It is a rewarding experience to support students with special needs and to help them grow in the area of academics and life skills.
I have been married to my wife Karinne for 17 years. She works at Northwest Iowa Community College in the Trio Department. We have two children, Anna (13) and Andrew (12) who are both students here at the middle school. We live in Orange City with two dogs, two cats, and a bearded dragon. We like to spend leisure time reading, watching anime, going out to eat, and taking the dogs for walks.
I earned an Associate’s Degree at Northwest Iowa Community College, a Bachelor’s Degree at Northwestern College, and a teaching certification at Morningside College in the area of Special Education.
