was born and raise in Collinsville, OK. After high school I attended McKendree University and was a 4 year starter and All-American for the wrestling team. After I finished college I became the head assistant wrestling coach at McKendree. During my tenure there I had the privilege of coaching 7 national champs and many All-Americans. While all of this was going on I met my beautiful wife of 12 years. When my daughter Alivia was born we decided to slow down and move back to Oklahoma to be around my family. That is when we found Claremore. Chrissy and I were hired by the district in 2013. She is now the principal at Roosa Elementary and I am teaching and coaching football and wrestling at the high school. We have fallen in love with this town and the district and plan on being here for a long time.

has been coaching soccer and wrestling at Claremore H.S. for nine years. For soccer, I spent my first year as the boys assistant coach and then the next two years as the girls assistant. This season is going to be my sixth year as a head coach for the girls team. I've been a part of the wrestling coaching staff for all nine years. I graduated from Bolingbrook High School in 2007 and then I graduated from McKendree University in 2012. I have been married to my wife Amy for 5 years and have a beautiful little girl Ellie.

grew up in Belleville, IL and went on to McKendree University where I wrestled for Coach Willard and was teammates with Coach Jahn. I am currently in year 8 teaching and coaching here at Claremore. I am fortunate to be Head JH Wrestling Coach, Assistant HS Wrestling Coach as well as the director of our youth wrestling program: Claremore Wrestling Club. I am a member of Cedar point church here in Claremore and absolutely love this community
