Born and raised in Duluth, I moved away to attend the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks and earned degrees in marketing and management while playing hockey for the Fighting Sioux. After college I spent some time playing professional hockey and living on both coasts before I ended up back in Duluth in the late 90's. When not working I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, making to-do lists, dreaming up new house projects and pursuing other random projects and ideas, traveling, curling, enjoying time at the family cabin, and getting outdoors whenever possible.
