I graduated from Eden Prairie High School and attended college at Minnesota State University, Mankato. While in college, I enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve as a Military Policeman. I served on a mobilization to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 2015-2016. I graduated in 2017 with a double-major in Law Enforcement and Political Science. After graduation, I spent several years working in hospital security. Working in the hospital helped me realize my passion for healthcare, and I returned to school again in order to become a Registered Nurse. I have worked as an ER nurse now for over two years. I have an amazing wife, Brittny, and we have a beautiful 1-year old girl, Isla.
