Fun fact about yourself
I am a trivia host for the local trivia company Trivia Mafia!
Life story
I grew up in Naperville, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. I attended Indiana University-Bloomington and got my degree in Secondary Education. After teaching 7th grade for two years, I started my Master’s program at the University of St. Thomas in the Leadership in Student Affairs program. I currently live in Minneapolis with my wife Lauren and our 2-year-old Labradoodle Murphy.

Finding the best chicken wings in Minnesota, my Chicago sports teams, and any book about history I can find.
