Family

 I want to thank my family for always being there for me throughout my career. Thank you for the sacrifices you have made and the support you continue to give towards this next step. My faith and family are central in my life.  

 I have been married to my wife, Amanda, for 25 years. She is a special education teacher, and together we have raised twin daughters, Mya and Macy. Mya is studying elementary education at Southwest State, and Macy is studying special education at Winona State.  

  In my free time, I enjoy golfing, hunting, and spearing northern pike. I am also a loyal Vikings fan. I am currently an active member of the Clear Lake Lions Club and the Elk River Rotary Club, and I serve on the Rivers of Hope Board. Rivers of Hope provides services to victims of domestic violence in Sherburne and Wright Counties.
