I started teaching in 2006 at an Arts and Racial Integration magnet school near Minneapolis, MN as an 8th grade Language Arts teacher. Having grown up in Wisconsin, primarily in a suburb of Milwaukee, I entered the classroom largely ignorant of the ways that Race and Culture can impact every student's educational journey.
Thankfully, I had students who insisted I learn what it meant to be a white guy at the front of the room, do my best to empathize with the kids in front of me, and never stop working to be better.
Over the years of my career, I've taught middle and high school, coached middle and elementary school teachers, and been a member of many different leadership groups within my schools and districts.
In 2014, I was named Minnesota's Teacher of the Year. I spent my year speaking and writing about anti-racist education and supporting newer educators.
A few years ago, I released my first book, It Won't Be Easy, an Exceedingly Honest (and slightly unprofessional) Love Letter to Teaching. The book was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award, and is being used in many college and high school classes for pre-service teachers.
I am still a full time teacher, still teaching 8th Grade Language Arts, still counting on my students every day to hold me accountable to do the best possible work I can for them.
