Administration

Thomas is thrilled to be in his first administrative role at LMSS, where he has the privilege of guiding this amazing school into the future. Providing students with an authentic Montessori experience is an honor and a great responsibility that he takes very seriously.

Before embarking on his teaching career, Thomas graduated from Winona State with a degree in Elementary Education. He then served on active duty in the Air Force for four years. After his military service, Thomas returned to Minnesota, where he taught multiple elementary grade levels in Swanville for five years and then spent a year teaching special education in Osakis. During this time, he also obtained his Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Administration, which inspired his transition to an administrative role where he could work with both adults and students.

Outside of his professional life, Thomas enjoys spending quality time with his family, which includes his wife and young son, as well as their two beloved dogs. When they’re not playing in the yard or watching sports, the family can often be found biking, hiking, walking, or exploring the beautiful region around La Crescent, where they reside. Thomas feels deeply connected to this area and cannot imagine being anywhere else.

Thomas is honored to be part of the LMSS community and is excited about the bright future that lies ahead. He welcomes any questions, concerns, or opportunities for casual conversation that members of the school community may have.
