I am a 1990 graduate of Braymer High School and hold a degree in Business Administration from William Jewell College, teaching certification from the University of Central Missouri, and a Master's in Education from William Woods University.  I am very proud to be a part of this great community and school district!

My wife, Jenni, teaches preschool at Braymer C-4.  I have three daughters, Cassidy, Madison, and Delaney, all graduates of Braymer High School.  I am also the proud grandpa (PaPa Joe) to Camden Lee Gardner, who will turn 2-years old in October.
