I have been teaching at Coopersville since 1986 and coaching football since 1979. I teach Applied Science, Plastics I and II, and Metals I and II. My background is in the plastics working in industry for 8 years as an injection molding technician. I have an Associates Degree in Plastics Technology, a Group Science Minor, and by Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Arts from Western Michigan University.
I grew up in Coopersville and enjoy the close community setting. My three children Theresa, Tammy, and Brian are married and are teachers. My wife Diane works in occupational therapy. I have four grandsons, Gibson, Elliott, Sawyer and Landon, and a granddaughter, Sloane. I am the luckiest person in the world.
