Community participation

My wife and I are pleased to volunteer our time and efforts to various organizations to help children and families in our community. Most often we are supporting the MN Adult and Teen Challenge organization and Feed My Starving Children.

Interests

I enjoy the outdoors and spending time at the lake with my wife, Emily, daughters, Olivia and Elliana and son, Jackson. We frequently get outside for walks, bike rides, or hikes any chance we get. In my free time I stay busy in seasonal sports and most often golfing, bass fishing, hunting, and playing hockey. Emily and I also love to travel to new places and experiencing new cultures and adventures together.
