I love spending time outside, especially when I can get to a lake! Whether it be boating, fishing, or spending time with friends and family, I think life always seems a little bit better at the lake. I like to stay active by walking my dog, Baxter, and playing volleyball whenever I can. I am also always up for trying a new restaurant, brewery, or winery (there are so many options in Minnesota!).

I love spending time with my family. My wife and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage this year, and we just recently welcomed our third child to the world! We like to go on walks, play games, visit the many area lakes and beaches, and enjoy all the Twin Cities area has to offer (zoos, museums, sports, music, theater, incredible food scene).

I love to read, play video games, and play piano. We bought a home in residency, and we’ve been having fun doing house and yard projects to make it our own. We also spend a lot of time with our residency family, hosting each other for meals/bbq/drinks, or meeting with each other at the awesome parks, restaurant patios, or breweries in the area.

I love to stay active and enjoy the outdoors, especially kayaking, hiking, downhill and backcountry skiing, fishing…anything active outside! Photography is a passion of mine, ranging from travel/aurora/landscape to lifestyle photography. I love to travel internationally and typically do this once a year. My main passion is spending time in Alaska where I grew up and lived until residency.

Traveling/backpacking, adventuring outside, playing card games, finding the best taco joint in every city, re-watching The Office over and over, and cuddling with our puppy when he allows it.

Teaching both my young dog and my young daughter new tricks, exploring Minnesota’s endless water, supporting Cornhusker Football and Boston College’s middling programs, biking new trails (sometimes multitasking with a podcast of any variety), providing emotional spark plug energy to our residency soccer team.

– Biking

– Reading, listening to, and telling stories

My go-to activities are definitely traveling, playing sports, and hiking. My wife is from Spain, so we go there a lot, and she was a tennis player so I’ve picked that up over the past 8 years. I also like playing soccer and hanging out with friends on rooftops and patios!

When I’m not busy building something in my workshop, I spend my time taking my dog Comet to the various dog parks around the Twin Cities, going kayaking around Lake of the Isles or down the Mississippi river, and sampling nearby breweries & distilleries.

My biggest source of joy is my little boy! He is such a light and so much fun! My husband and I enjoy camping, hiking, and gardening. Any time spent with a cup of hot coffee is a good time…add a piece of pie and you’re golden! I enjoy cooking, going on walks with the little guy, and spending time with family! I grew up in a small town and thoroughly enjoy now living in White Bear Lake, another small community not too far from Regions.
