I am starting my 22nd year in education, and my 2nd year at Abbotsford. I grew up in Viroqua, Wisconsin. I obtained my college education at UW-La Crosse and Viterbo. For 20 years I worked at Owen-Withee. I taught many different Social Studies classes along with Driver Education.  I also coached Basketball, Track and Cross Country.

My family lives in Abbotsford as we moved here in 2019 with my wife Tina; our kids are Marlin (O-W grad; works & attends NTC), Bridgett (2022 Abby grad) and Margo (Sophomore) Pogodzinski.

My classes this year will include U.S. History 2 & 3, Current Issues, Modern World History, Psychology & Sociology. I also coach JV Boys Basketball.
