I grew up in Minnesota, where I learned the value of hard work, the importance of socially responsible community service, and the true meaning of the word ‘winter.’
The events of 9/11 changed my life, as I left the University of Wisconsin and joined the Army, where I had the distinct honor to serve alongside some of the greatest men I’ve ever known. After taking off the uniform, I spent time in operations, finance, consulting, and executive leadership, working in settings as diverse as supply chain, aviation, healthcare, mining, hospitality, government, nonprofits, retail, technology, and utilities. After spending a decade in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I now reside outside Kansas City with my wonderful wife and two incredible children, where I enjoy reading, watching sports, playing golf, and supporting my kids as they learn and grow in the world. |
