Welcome to Yutan Public Schools
It is my privilege to welcome you to Yutan Public Schools, where I am honored to serve as Superintendent. From the moment I joined this district, I could feel the pride and dedication our community has for its schools. Our students, staff, families, and community members are what make Yutan such a special place.
As Superintendent, my goal is to foster an environment where students are challenged academically, inspired creatively, and encouraged personally. I believe in the power of collaboration, open communication, and doing what is best for all students. Working together, we can build on our strong foundation to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.
Our Vision
The Yutan Public School District will inspire a love of learning, a pursuit of excellence, and personal growth from preschool through graduation. We are dedicated to student-centered decisions, strong relationships, and a positive, supportive school community where students and staff feel valued. Through collaborative leadership and equitable opportunities, we will empower students and staff to grow in resilience, leadership, and integrity for success in school and beyond.
A Little About Me
I grew up on a dairy farm in the small town of Miller, South Dakota. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Education from Dakota State University, my Master of Education in Leadership from Doane University, and my Superintendent Endorsement from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
My career in education spans more than 30 years, beginning as a business teacher and coach at Omaha Burke. I later taught and coached in the Blair Community School District before becoming the 6–12 principal at Louisville Public Schools. I returned to Blair to serve as middle school principal for two years and then as 6–12 assistant superintendent for the last two years before coming to Yutan.
Family Life
My wife, Jennifer, is originally from Valley, Nebraska, and shares my passion for education and activities. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA), where she works to promote positive experiences for students across the state through athletics and activities.
We are grateful to be part of the Yutan community. Please reach out anytime with questions, we are here to help. Go Chieftains!
