  • Born and raised in Montana.
  • I met my wife, Amber, while on a trip to Minneapolis for a Vikings game and convinced her to move out to the West Coast. We welcomed our first child, Elaina, in October 2012. We decided to make the big move from Oregon to the Twin Cities to raise our daughter near family.
