Accomplishments
I’ve celebrated over 20 years of marriage with my incredible wife. Together we have raised two awesome children. My oldest has a career in emergency services and my youngest is off to college. I’ve had the honor of being part of Team Mid-States for nine years. I’m truly blessed to be able to work with such amazing people.
Off the Clock
I like to plan crazy adventures full of Type II fun. We’ve ended up in some awesome places like the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, The Prince of Whales Hotel, or the mayor’s house in Han Sur Neid, France. I’ve also slept in a farmer’s field, sandbars on the Wisconsin River, and an off-grid cabin in Alaska. There is no better way to feel alive than going into the cold, dark wilderness during the winter to camp under a tarp while your friends fight over how to make fire.
Secret Life
I won an Apple Pie Contest seven years ago. They haven’t had the contest since, so I’m the Reigning Apple Pie Contest Champion for the past seven years.
Here is an alfredo sauce recipe that may change your life. Step 1. Whisk together over medium heat: 4 tablespoons of butter, 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Step 2. Pour in 2 cups of milk. Whisk. Don’t stop whisking. Step 3. Add ½ cup of parmesan cheese. Then, add some more parmesan cheese because you are from WI and ½ cup isn’t enough. Don’t stop whisking. Step 4. When it thickens up, pour over some noodles. Step 5. Eat way too much because it’s the best thing you’ve ever had.
I devote a lot of my time outside of work as President of my local squirrel observation group. As the only active member I have yet to observe any squirrels ☹.
I delivered pizzas when I was in college, so if my wife complains about my driving I remind her that I used to be a professional.
I’m a big fan of the Oxford Comma.
I type two spaces after a period. Haters gonna hate.

Accomplishments
My biggest accomplishment would be finishing my bachelor’s degree in the middle of a pandemic. At the end of 2020, I decided that it was the best time to finish up the few classes I had left. I enrolled at Lakeland University and in August 2022, after tears and many long nights, I realized my dream of finishing my degree.
Extracurricular
My extracurricular involvement generally revolves around my children’s activities. I am a rabbit project leader for my daughter’s 4H club. My son is in Cub Scouts and we participate and help that group as much as possible.
Off the Clock
Off the clock, I try and be as active as I can with my family. I enjoy running, hiking, camping, kayaking, basically anything outdoors. We are also busy with our two dogs and their activities. Daphne is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi and love to do FastCAT. Orion is a Poodle and is loving agility and is showing potential for dock diving.
Secret Life
I started karate about a year ago and have worked my way up to a yellow belt. It will be a long process, but I would eventually like to earn my black belt. I have also dabbled in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
