Welcome to my Wikispace!
===This is my eleventh year teaching at County Line and my fourteen year teaching overall. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree at UW-Whitewater in 1995. I also was in athletics and was the place-kicker for the UW-Whitewater football team for four years. I just received my Master's in Educational Technology from Marian University in 2009. I created the County Line Web page nine years ago, and I continue to maintain it. I also have a class website. I am happily married for 13 years to my wife, Michelle, and we have a daughter, Sierra, who is going into 5th grade! We live in Hartford with our dog, Lambeau, and a cat named Mercury. I grew up in Germantown and attended County Line Elementary, KMS, & GHS! When I have free time I like to spend time with my family, coaching, fishing, hunting,going down to my place along the Mississippi River and watching many sports! Go Packers, Badgers, Bucks, & Brewers!===

__My Goals For My Class__
===My main goal for my class is to create a relaxed learning environment that allows students to succeed. I focus on the positives more than the negatives. We also participate in a lot of cooperative learning activities and incorporate technology use in my classroom. In my class we are known as a TEAM and not a class. This means that everyone has a job to do and is a piece of our TEAM puzzle. **T**ogether **E**veryone **A**chieves **M**ore. Another thing I do is I allow the students to take charge of their own learning, and allow them to take chances in the room. Our main class rule is RESPECT EVERYONE! I find that my students learn as much in the classroom as they do out. So, I take those experiences and incorporate them into my class. Just like some famous people said:===
