Get to know me

As a proud graduate and lifelong resident of White Bear Lake, I grew up in this community spending summers on the lake, biking around town, taking walks through Tamarack Nature Center, attending Marketfest, and (of course) enjoying more than my fair share of ice cream from Cup 'n Cone -- a true staple of WBL. I graduated WBL High School in 2002 before going off to college at Bemidji State University where I double-majored in Creative and Professional Writing with a minor in Religious Studies. After college, I went on to receive my MFA from Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul.

​

Currently, I am blessed to be working as a certified master life coach and behaviorist, helping people bring structure and clarity to their personal, professional, and financial goals while understanding the motivations behind their behaviors. I have also been a member at my local White Bear Lake church where I have been blessed to play in the worship band since high school.

​

I am the proud father of three wonderful children, two of which are currently enrolled as students in the district, walking the very same halls that my wife and I did when we were their age.
