Personal
I am a lifetime resident of the extended Fox Valley area, having been raised on a successful dairy farm in Waupaca County. I learned at a young age that everyone has a role in making a business successful - farming or otherwise - and that hard work is simply a part of life.
I will always be grateful for my parents, who instilled in me the importance of God, family, honesty and dedication.
I met my wife Jenny while attending UW-Stevens Point. We live in the town of Greenville with our daughters, Megan & Rachel.
In addition to family time, I enjoy many sports and outdoor activities including boating, kayaking, snowmobiling, hunting and fishing.
I also enjoy giving back, having spent many years coaching youth athletics as well as serving on church council.
