My name is Jeff Drake and I am enthusiastically running for MASSP Secretary!

Professionally, I have been a 7-12 principal for nearly ten years, most of which has been in Battle Lake. This year I became K-12 principal and serve as the district's curriculum director. I have also coached junior high football for the past three years. Life is busy -- but very rewarding.

I grew up in the Northern Minnesota community of Deer River and went to school at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota.

Professionally, my career has taken me to Capitol, Central, and Western Divisions giving me some familiarity with most areas of Minnesota.

My wife Amy is a science teacher and we have two children -- Jessica and Connor. My hobbies include fishing, water-skiing, weightlifting, reading, motorcycling singing in our church choir and occasionally chasing after pheasants with our Irish Setter, Daisy.

MASSP has blessed my life both personally and professionally. I would like to give back to the organization and would greatly appreciate your support for MASSP Secretary.
