Welcome to Chippewa Falls Middle School! Having grown up in the Chippewa Valley, I have always admired the great resources and opportunities this area has to offer our leaders of tomorrow, and I am honored I get to be a part of that here at CFMS. It is my goal to continually work alongside and collaborate with our teachers and families to ensure that each and every child grows academically and socially during their time at Chippewa Falls Middle School. I am so fortunate to have this amazing job and work with great students, staff, and families on a daily basis! Feel free to contact me at any time, and... Go Cardinals!

I am so excited for another year serving as an assistant principal here at CFMS! I spent over 10 years teaching Spanish at CFMS and I am going into my 4th year as an assistant principal at CFMS.  I love being a part of the CFMS family.  My husband Chris and I live in Chippewa Falls with our three children. We are proud to live in this community and have our children attend our district.  It is my goal to support and care for our students, staff and families with a servant's heart! Go Cardinals!

As an assistant principal entering my fourth year at Chippewa Falls Middle School, I'm thrilled to continue fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for our students. I'm committed to working closely with our families and staff to create a community where all students feel valued, empowered, and successful.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself as your middle school athletic director and dean of students. I am so happy to be back here at CFMS and be a Cardinal. CFMS has always had a special place in my heart, it was where my mom had her first job, where I had my first job and where my wife and I met. My wife Katelyn teaches Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) at Chi-Hi and my son Harvey will be a Mini-Cardinal at Hillcrest. We are really excited to be a family of Cardinals. I am honored to get to be a part of the Chippewa Falls community, admin team and staff here at CFMS. It is my goal to be visible, present and accountable for staff, students and stakeholders. Please don’t hesitate to stop in or reach out. 

I can’t wait to have an awesome year.

Go Cardinals!
