Married Shelly in North Dakota and after 10 years at North Dakota State University, was offered a faculty position to develop a new Horticulture department at Kent State University in Ohio. I’ve found out that teaching can be a very heartwarming and rewarding profession and currently teach courses in Landscape Design and Architecture, Turfgrass management, Arboriculture, Urban Forestry, Horticulture and Soils management. I am also responsible for the success or failure of my department which can be stressful at times but good ol’ Clinton high school trained me well. Bought a home in Salem, Ohio last year and have been having a lot of fun raising 4 boys. What a thrill! I still love good ol’ “Rock-n-Roll” and still play the drums in Bar Bands. Miss my days at Clinton High and hope you will stop in and see us sometime. Our door is always open to you all.
