My given name is Joel Dudgeon, but in school I usually go by Mr. D. I grew up in Lucan, Minnesota. After graduating from Wabasso High School in 1985 I attended what was then called Southwest State University in Marshall, Minnesota before transferring to Winona State University. I graduated with an Elementary Education degree with coaching in May of 1990.
I have been teaching since the 1990-91 school year when I taught first grade in Corydon, Iowa at a school called Wayne Community School. After a year in balmy southern Iowa I returned to my old stomping grounds of Wabasso as a second grade teacher. I taught second grade for many years before moving to my current position in fourth grade.
I am married to Lisa. We have two children. Our Mariah is married to Matt and they have two young boys Cohen and Boyer. Our son Brendan works at the Richmond Ballet as a Costume artist.

I coach cross country and help out with the track and field team, but have dabbled in several other sports as a coach.
I have a few hobbies with reading and running topping the list. As of this writing I am over 84,000 career miles.
