Originally from Bismarck, ND, I have over 20 years of experience as an athletic trainer as well as over 10 years of teaching in the K-12 setting. After graduate school, I went to Beaver Dam, WI where I was the first athletic trainer at the Beaver Dam Community Hospital. During my tenure at the hospital, I was able to grow the sports medicine program to provide athletic training services to multiple area high schools. I started in 2010 at the University of Mary as the Program Director for Athletic Training. I am married and have three children. I also am the high school gymnastics coach for the Bismarck Public Schools.
