I'm recently married and finishing up a license to teach social studies at the secondary level. In the mean time I am training for my fist triathlons this summer, writing a history paper, and enjoying each day fully. Maybe some day we will find ourselves living in the San Juan islands in Washington State or somewhere abroad. I love Minnesota, but there is too much to see in the world to stay here forever. Wanderlust is a catchy bug. I am fortunate to have a loving wife that will accompany me all the way.
