About Me:

I have a son, daughter, and granddaughter. I am happiest when I am hunting, cross country skiing, or making pottery.

Before becoming a nurse, I fished commercially in Alaska, logged, built homes, and was a welder. After graduating from nursing school in 2009 I spent 9 years at Mid Valley Hospital with the majority of that time in the Emergency Room. After that, I spent some time as a charge nurse and case manager before finding my dream job at PSIS in 2021.

Why I chose PSIS:

I have always enjoyed working with children. Lucky for me, my wife is a teacher, so our schedules line up perfectly.

My goal for the year:

My goal is to have a happy and healthy year for staff and students.

Fun Fact:

I am a volunteer fire fighter with the Okanogan Fire Department. My wife and I have a pottery studio and we call ourselves "Wishful Thinking Pottery"
