About Mr. Troy

​

Family Life:

I was born in Omaha, NE and moved to Valley, NE in the 3rd grade.  I graduated from Valley High School in 1995.  Both of my younger sisters graduated from Valley and my parents still live here.  After college I met and subsequently married my awesome wife Laura.  We have 3 boys:  Landon, Liam, and Levi.  Don't know why we chose all "L" names, but I think it's pretty awesome.  As a family we love to camp, go on vacations, sports, music, cooking, our dogs, and generally hanging together outside.  We moved to Valley and we are all loving it here.  I am especially excited about being back home.  I am also the Head Football Coach.

Fun Facts -

I have coached football for 23 years: as an assistant, defensive coordinator, interim head coach and now head coach.

I played offensive tackle in College.

I love Sasquatch.  It's kind of a whole family joke.  Not that I believe in him, but I secretly hope one day I'm proven wrong.  This pairs well with Laura as she is way into unicorns lol.

I love to hunt, fish, read, fly my drone, and generally make a mess in my garage doing whatever.
