I have over 10 years of high school wrestling coaching experience. I started in Darlington, Wisconsin during college and in 2019, started coaching at Oregon High School as an assistant coach. In the 2021-22 season I was hired as the head coach and the next few seasons showed me that this program was everything I wanted to step into Great history, great wrestling family and great opportunities for growth.
A Marketing Executive deeply committed to athletics and community service, I've dedicated over 20 years to refining my expertise in brand development and marketing. Though my wrestling journey began in Illinois (tougher talent pool), it found a new home in Wisconsin, where I pursued my passion at UWO. Now, alongside my loving wife, two teenage children, and our spirited dog, I find fulfillment in both professional pursuits and family adventures.
