I am in my ninth year as Superintendent and Elementary Principal at Pawnee City Public Schools, and in my 15th year living in the Pawnee City School District. I am in my 22st year working in public education. I grew up, the oldest of three children, on a small farm outside of Baileyville, KS. I attended, and graduated in 1999, from Baileyville-B&B Public Schools.
I began my career in 2003 as the social studies teacher at Axtell Public School, KS . At Axtell, I was a teacher for seven years, and principal for four years. Following that, I worked two years teaching online for Manhattan Virtual Academy of the Manhattan-Ogden, KS School District. Some of the coaching and sponsoring I did during my time as a teacher and high school principal included: Assistant Football, Head Girls Basketball, Assistant Boys Basketball, Track, Yearbook, and Student Council.
I am married to Carmen Rottinghaus, who has worked in the Pawnee City and surrounding communities as a Physical Therapist for 18 years. Carmen grew up, the oldest of four sisters, on a small farm outside of Wymore, NE. She attended, and graduated in 1999, from Wymore-Southern Public Schools, NE.
Carmen and I have three children: Cameron (17), Isaac (12), and Phillip (10).
