I am originally from Aitkin Minnesota. I graduated from Aitkin High School in 2017. After high school, I attended Dakota State University. Well at Dakota State I majored in Elementary Education and played four seasons of college football. I graduated from Dakota State in the spring of 2021. During my time at Dakota State, I completed two semesters of student teaching in Madison, SD. I spent one semester in 6th-grade math and one semester in 6th-grade science. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time hunting and fishing or cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes with any of my six siblings (five brothers one sister).
