What is your position at Northwest?
“I am the athletic director and assistant principal.”

Have you taught before?
“I taught in Bellevue for a while and coached college basketball for eight years at schools like Midland, Creighton and Hillsdale College.”

What is an interesting fact about you?
“I have a nine-year-old and six-year-old who are just getting started in sports. They are super social and excited about school.”
