Personal
I grew up in Sparta, Wisconsin as the youngest of three children and graduated high school in 2008 from Sparta High School. I graduated from Saint Mary's University in Winona, Minnesota with bachelor's degrees in marketing and Sports Management while also playing college golf for the university. Before that, I spent two years living in El Paso, Texas playing junior hockey which provided one of the most memorable experiences in my life.
I was lucky to meet the love of my life and now wife Mikala in 2020. It just so happened that 2023 was a big year for us. We officially married, moved back to Sparta, and had our first-born child Nora. Mikala also grew up in Sparta and we plan to raise our family here. I enjoy spending my time away from work golfing, fishing, and hunting. In the winter months I enjoy coaching hockey and downhill skiing. I love to follow Wisconsin sports teams throughout the year with the addition of my beloved Detroit Red Wings.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
