About Mr. Swank
My name is Dave Swank. My wife and I live squarely in the middle of nowhere with our three dogs. We have one child, Solee Wilder. We love living and working on the Rosebud Reservation.
I am originally from Ypsilanti, Michigan. I attended Michigan State University and Eastern Michigan University, where I earned my B.S. in English. I am still a huge Michigan State Spartans fan, and I couldn't be more excited about Nebraska's recent move to the Big Ten - now I'll finally be able to see more basketball games!
Before teaching writing, I taught 6-8 language arts at TCMS, and 7th grade language arts at Holland Middle School in Houston, TX. I was a successful high school swimming and water polo coach for 8 years, winning six league championships and a state title. One of my former athletes is an Olympic silver medalist and World Champion. She'll be competing in London this summer.
When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking in the Black Hills, riding my bike, and kayaking. In the fall, I like to spend my time pheasant and deer hunting.
