I was born in Arkansas but don’t hold that against me. I have spent most of my life in the Lincoln area attending Middle and High School in Malcolm Nebraska. I have 2 bachelors degrees from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. One in History and one in Education and Human Sciences with a Social Studies endorsement. I also have a Masters of Historical Studies from Nebraska Wesleyan.

I am married to my beautiful wife Valerie and my proudest accomplishment is my 2 wonderful kids, LJ and Fionna.
