Family Picture

 Family:

I've been blessed to be married to my wife, Theresa, for almost 25 years.  We have th
ree wonderful children, one girl and two boys.  If three children aren't enough to make life interesting, throw in two dogs and three cats.  Life is never dull in the Stanley house.


Interests:

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and doing all kinds of outdoor activities.  In recent years, we have appreciated the beauty of hiking in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and canoeing and portaging the crystal clear lakes of the Boundary Water Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota.  I also like watching the Wisconsin Badgers football and basketball teams.
