My last year of engineering school, I met my wife. In 2018 we got married and in 2020 we had our sweet daughter. In November of 2023 we welcomed our son to our family. All my successes are driven by my ambition but are only possible thanks to the support I get from my wife every day. This is why she is the most important and proudest part of my life!
Our community is very important to my wife and I. As such, we volunteer at many local events and I have been a member of our city's Planning and Zoning board as well as the Parks and Rec board for several years. Furthermore, I play an instrumental role in organizing the Ely Open; the city's most popular event. I have placed an example of the digital media I made for last year's attendees adjacent to this text.
I am a strong believer that boredom is a choice! I never find myself in that situation because I stay very active between focusing on my physical fitness, furthering education, or socializing with friends and family. I am the primary team leader of my RAGBRAI team of nearly 40 people, (many who are shown in the photo adjacent to this text). Additionally, I started to teach myself Spanish a little after 2023 RAGBRAI and have convinced 10 of my team mates to do so as well with the goal of having Spanish Wednesday for 2024 RAGBRAI!
