Mr. Harnitz
Hello, I am Mr. Harnitz. I teach German 7-12. I just retired from coaching at LCWM, but I will stay involved.
I was born in Mankato and grew up there as well. I graduated from Mankato East High School in 1983. I attended North Dakota State University and Mankato State University during my college years. I studied German, Math, Computer Science, and Sport Pschychology During that time, I wrestled for the Mavericks and continued being a graduate assistant after my competitive college style years. I continued competing in the international style of Greco Romen wrestling. I eventually competed for the USA overseas from 1993-1995. I met my wonderful wife Amy and we married in 1995, the same year I started teaching at LCWM. We had 4 awesome kids (Ariel, Ari, Anastasia, and Alex). I began coaching wrestling at LCWM in 1999. I have now been teaching and/or coaching at LCWM for 26 years. I have always been a loyal person.
I love to hunt, fish, camp, and just simply, the outdoors.
I love the kids, staff, and administrators at LCWM. They have all become part of my family.
