And Here's Mr. Riske

I am beginning my 29th year of teaching. I was born and raised in Texas and attended Zion Lutheran School in Walburg, TX for grades 1-8. After graduating from Georgetown High School in Texas, I attended Concordia College, Austin, TX. for 2 years and then Concordia Teachers' College in Seward, NE, graduating in May 1974. I received a Master of Education Degree from Wayne State University in Detroit in December, 1985. I taught 4 years at St. Mark Lutheran School, Waco, TX; 8 years at Redford Lutheran School, Detroit; and in 2002 I will be starting my 17th year here at Zion Lutheran School. I have 4 children: Johathan, Matthew, Angela, and Rebekah. My wife, Cheryl, is the Preschool teacher.
