The summer of 1995, he signed up for 20 some credits at NDSU – working on a master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling, then signed up for a two-year teaching job in Australia. Upon returning, he signed a teaching contract in Larimore. He broke that contract to go to Florida. Larimore revoked his teaching certificate in North Dakota.
