I grew up in Darlington, WI and have always been active, especially in organized sports. I played basketball, ran cross country, a few years of football, but my heart was always on the baseball field. I also have a great passion for auto racing and a strong passion for soccer, playing in an adult league. I met my wife during college while working at Dick's Sporting Goods in Dubuque, Iowa and we were married in March of 2021. We have not started a family yet but have a wonderful dog named Stitch, who my wife rescued from a shelter, without my agreement, but was one of the best decisions ever.

For the first 6 years after college, I was a teacher at a middle school. I taught 8th grade PLTW engineering. I enjoyed giving back, especially to kids, but I found a problem where personal finance isn't taught very well. A small percentage of my students will become engineers, but everyone has to deal with money, so I decided to help people where the problem was more prevalent. I have a passion to help people live their best life, buy their dream house, the car, go to theme parks, and travel the world (a huge passion of mine). I want to help people enjoy life to the fullest, whatever that is for them. I am constantly looking for people, like me, who love to get out and live their best lives. People who want a better experience and have an open mind to listen. People who want to leave the world better than they found it. I would love to connect with you. All I ask for is an open mind to listen so we can make the best decisions.
