I was born in Madison, WI, and have spent most of my life in and around the Madison area, living in places like DeForest, Waunakee, and Windsor. I graduated from DeForest High School and have a deep connection to this vibrant community. Today, I live in Windsor with my wife and our two boys, aged 8 and 12, who keep us busy with their endless energy and curiosity.

When I'm not with my family, you’ll usually find me out on a hike, immersed in wood carving, or playing my handpan. I’ve also developed a love for animals over the years. We currently have 7 chickens and a playful 4-year-old all-white Boxer named Ms. Trudy, who is an absolute sweetheart. I’m also a huge fan of goats and am looking forward to expanding our little farm soon by adding rabbits to the mix.

Professionally, I've spent about half my life in sales, starting at Animart in Madison, where I helped pet owners with setups and provided knowledge on how to care for their pets. From there, I moved to USCellular, where I spent five years gaining expertise in mobile technology and phones. Wanting to aim higher, I transitioned into the world of car sales, starting with a brief stint at a Mazda dealership before finding my true home at Don Miller Subaru, where I spent five years. Most recently, I worked at WPS in Madison, assisting customers with Medicare and Medicare Supplement plans. I often jokingly said I "lovingly sweet-talked old ladies" for a living, and I really enjoyed that role until my position was unfortunately eliminated.

I’m always excited about new adventures and opportunities, both in my personal and professional life. Whether it’s trying something new with my family, learning more about technology, or finding ways to help others, I’m constantly looking for ways to grow and connect.
