Where did you grow up? I grew up in Hugo, Minnesota, and attended St. Croix Preparatory Academy. Much of my childhood was spent on the soccer field and exploring my family’s rural property. These days, I enjoy traveling and getting out on the golf course with friends — including visiting my two older brothers in Steamboat, CO and Los Angeles, CA.
Perfect Saturday? My ideal Minnesota Saturday starts with a cup of coffee and a few episodes of whatever show I’m working through. After an early lunch at one of Minnesota’s many lakeside restaurants, I’d head to the golf course with friends. The evening would wrap up with steaks on the grill and a competitive game of Catan with family.

Early Jobs and What Did You Learn/Like Best? My favorite job growing up was caddying at White Bear Yacht Club. The role gave me the chance to spend time outdoors, stay active on the golf course, and engage with accomplished people from a wide range of industries and professions. Those interactions instilled in me the value of hard work and the importance of pursuing something you are truly passionate about.
