Interests

My life is centered on my wife Kelly and our daughters, Ashtyn and Kaitlyn and sons, Ethan and Mason. We are the owners of a yellow lab, "Cooper" and a springer spaniel, "Maggie". As a family, we especially enjoy time together at our lake cabin, on family vacations and attending our childrens' activities. My family is active within Grace Lutheran Church in Detroit Lakes. We are inspired through our nineteen-year-old daughter, Ashtyn, who received a life saving bone marrow transplant in 2010.

I am a sports booster for our Detroit Lakes teams and enjoy organizing and coaching youth sports. I also enjoy hunting and fishing.
