Today was the first day of classes - vacation is officially over! Yesterday both sides of the ball did a lot of install for PLU so today should be much more spirit filled. The team is very focused and knows that this trip is about taking care of business first and then enjoying the time away together. Our guys never shy away from the hard work part of the game and that makes me proud as their Head Coach. Hope to see some Ole Alum who are from the Pacific Northwest at the game on Saturday.
GO OLES!
About Me
- ST. OLAF FOOTBALL
- I strive to be a servant leader. One of my firmly held beliefs is that God has put us on the earth to serve others. I am a Christian, husband, father and mentor in that order. On March 31, 2008, I was named the 11th head football coach at St. Olaf. It is both a blessing and honor to be associated with so many great Oles, past & present. Prior to joining St. Olaf, I coached at my alma mater, Wis.-Stevens Point, as defensive coordinator the last two seasons. I spent seven seasons as an assistant at Division II Minnesota State University-Mankato (1993-96, 1999-02) before a three-year stint as the CEO of the Mankato YMCA. I also spent one season as the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Bombers of the Arena Football league (1999) and another as an assistant at California Lutheran University (1998) as defensive line coach. My wife Deana and I have three children, son Jett and daughters Jersey and J.J.
