I am starting my first year at Norris High School and 14th year overall in education.  I taught 9-12 social studies at Columbus High School for the last five years.  I also taught 7th & 8th grade social studies at Central City Middle School.  I will be entering my 14th season as a boys varsity basketball coach this coming year. 

After my high school athletic career at Lincoln Northeast, I attended Creighton University in Omaha where I was a member of the men's basketball team and was a part of two NCAA tournament and two NIT tournament teams.  

I am an avid Creighton Bluejay fan, as well as a Colorado Rockies Baseball fan and college football/basketball enthusiast.  I enjoy traveling and checking out new destinations across Nebraska and the country.

My wife Mackenzie is a kindergarten teacher here at Norris and we have two children, our son Jayce (age 5) and daughter Maguire (age 2).  The Motz family is excited to be joining Titan Nation!
