I grew up in Giltner, Nebraska where I learned to value a small town community and school. After graduating high school, I went to Central Community College in Columbus where I earned my Associates of Arts degree. I then attended Wayne State College where  received a Bachelor’s of Science Degree with an endorsement in Elementary Education. In 2018 I got hired by Diller-Odell public schools as the 6th grade teacher and basketball coach. I am now the Elementary Principal along as the boys basketball coach. I just got married in the summer of 2024 to Josie Vitosh now Hinrichs. We love being part of this school and community and GO GRIFFS!
