About me
Chris Peterson is a husband, a father, and an educator. Don't ask him what he teaches because his response is always "young people". Chris has had the fortune of graduating twice from the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse; receiving a BS in Health and Physical Education and an MS in PE with an Adventure Education emphasis. Here he had countless opportunities to work with great educators from all over the state. Chris moved to the West Coast in 1999 and spent two years teaching and coaching young people. It was in the Portland, Oregon area where he received his experience working with a very diverse population of students. It was here he learned about what attracts kids into the "gang" lifestyle. This is where he realized the lifetime impact that can be had with students. This impact is a two-way street. Chris recently stepped away from the classroom in Holmen, WI to attain his administrative license from the Winona State University in Minnesota and to spend more time at home raising their two daughters. He's been blessed with a number of opportunities to work with parents, students and educators all around the state, leading workshops on refusal skills, classroom management and discipline, and anti-bullying programs. He had the fortune to work with Jim and Charles Fay while completing his independent facilitator training for Becoming a Love and Logic Parent. Chris and his wife feel blessed to raise their children with these strategies. He has had the opportunity to meet thousands of educators, parents, and students while presenting at and school districts all over the region. Chris is excited to teach, and even more excited to learn, living his motto..."Health isn't everything, but everything is nothing without it."
