Other Stuff

Since relocating to Marquette in 2006, I have made it a priority to be an active community member.  I am currently a board member of Marquette West Rotary, serving as Club President.  I have also actively participated in Superior Bike Fest and Seafood Fest.  In addition, I am a graduate of the LSCP Leadership Academy Class of 2010.

Personal Life

I currently reside in Marquette, MI, along the shores of Lake Superior.  With the area not lacking of recreational activity, you can often find me outside doing something.  I am aspiring to be a competitive triathlete, so most of my activities consist of swimming, biking and running.  I usually compete in at least 10 triathlons every year.
