Raised in St. Cloud, Minnesota, my wife and I found ourselves moving to Hopkins in 2007 when searching for the ideal community to raise our children, enjoy our life together as a couple, and remain connected to the metro area at large.

Currently, I am:

• A former teacher with 5 years experience.
• Staying home to raise my 2 pre-school children.
• Business Manager and member of the Board of Directors for Chops, Inc. Drum & Bugle Corps.

In my spare time, I:

• Perform with Chops, Inc. and Top Chops Brassline.
• Return to St. Cloud for an annual 50-hour trivia contest.
• Write on my blog and during NaNoWriMo.
• Do small projects around the house and work in my garden. Yes, I do have a raspberry patch.
