I am a lifelong resident of this area and graduated from Lincoln HS in 1991, and USD in Vermillion in 1996. I am a boy dad to my sons Andy and Brecken along with my 2 golden retrievers (boys): Cooper and Knox (Short for Knoxville). My wife is Kristen and we have been married for 20 years.

I love sports and just recently decided I needed to start playing Pickleball. I also enjoy some light gambling on sports like fantasy football, prize picks, and survivor and pickem leagues. I also really enjoy playing tournament style texas holdem poker.

I am proud to talk about my past jobs in Senior Living, Hospice, and Home Care. I am also very proud to talk about donating a kidney on July 5th of 2022. I gave a kidney to a very good friends wife. Now I have a "kidney sister". I also mentor a youth through the "Teammates" mentoring program in Sioux Falls. I have been with my student now going on our 3rd year. I started with him at Laura Wilder and now he is starting his first year of middle school at Edison.

I am a dad joke enthusiast. I like to keep things light and fun. I also love helping others, especially those less fortunate whenever I can or when I am called.
