I am a graduate from Gainesville R-5 and I went on to obtain my teaching degree from MSU. I have taught for 11 years, I am excited to begin my 12th year of teaching at Gainesville.

I have been married for 21 years and have 3 sons that attend Gainesville. Their ages vary between 7 and 16.

I spend most of my time following my boys around. Fishing, hunting, and basically anything outdoors is very popular at our house. If I have any free time, I enjoy a good book, gardening, and cooking.
