Loving the outdoors and the physical work

I love the outdoors and physical work. There's no better industry than this one, in my opinion. To someone who is looking to join the industry, I suggest that you 1.) Learn from the best of the best, and 2.) Make sure you vet the company you are thinking about seeking employment with. Overall, just do your homework!


  • Born in Des Moines, but I grew up in Minnesota. I graduated from Shakopee Sr. High
  • Started in the industry in 1992 with a distributor in the metro area.
  • Joined the Southview team in 2021
  • I live in Buffalo with my wife, Kristi. I have three amazing kids Gage, Garett, and Misti. I also have 5 wonderful grandkids. We have a family pet her name is Stella. She is a Belgian Malinois.
  • A good day for me is hearing the words "GREAT JOB" from a client.
