I hold a bachelor's degree in Physical Education from the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater.

I believe Physical Education should be something fun for the students, but it also needs to teach them how to lead healthy lifestyles now and as the as they get older.  Physical education should also educate the children on the various strategies, rules, and regulations of different sports.

I enjoy the closely integrated community of teachers, administration, students, and parents in Catholic schools.  The families and staff have a sincere interest in the well being of each other.

My hobbies include spending time with my son Charlie and our English Springer Spaniel named Butler, musky fishing, and watching Wisconsin sports teams. 

I've also been the mascot, Bernie Brewer, for the Milwaukee Brewers for over 25 years!

"Mr. Hanson always makes the very top of the list when my children name who their favorite teachers are at St. Joe’s.  He makes Phy Ed something they look forward to."

"Mr. Hanson always makes sure the kids are having FUN while learning about the importance of exercise and the skill sets it takes for the different sports.  He has offered a ton of fun activities for the kids to complete during their distance learning that has offered a great break from the routine of the day.  We are lucky to have him a part of our great school!"
