Welcome to John Adams Middle School! 

Welcome to John Adams Middle School. This is my 7th year at John Adams and my 20th year in Rochester Public Schools. Our building and district mission will continue to be to Inspire, Challenge and Empower all students with the knowledge and skills required to reach their full potential, to contribute to future generations, and to become involved members of a global community. We have an amazing group of teachers and support staff, as well as a wonderful community of families and students.

I started my career as a special education teacher in the Twin Cities Metro Area.  In 2006, my wife Wendy and I moved our family to Rochester, where I grew up. Since returning to Rochester, I have worked as Assistant Principal at Gibbs Elementary and John Adams Middle School. I have also served as Special Education Supervisor at the middle school level and Principal at Elton Hills Elementary. I have three wonderful kids: Brevin, Teagan, and Payton. We have two goldendoodles: Emmie and Griffey.

We invite you to play an active role in your child's education. Ask questions and show your child that school and learning are the keys to success! If there is anything I can do to support you throughout the year, don't hesitate to contact me. Contact me by email or by phone, 507.328.5700.

I look forward to an exciting and productive school year!
