About Me

I was born and raised in Mandan, North Dakota. I attended the University of Mary for my undergraduate degree in computer information systems. After graduating, I worked in education for 15 years. Following that, I went into the industry as a cybersecurity engineer. After working in the cybersecurity field, I found myself being drawn back into education and look forward to continuing that here at Mary. I am married and have three children. I enjoy spending time with my family and staying active outdoors.

Why I’m At Mary

The University of Mary is where I got my start in the technology field, and I'm excited to share my experiences and expertise with the Mary students and community.
