ABOUT

I was born in Hastings, Nebraska where I attended grade school at Wallace District 60 and high school at Adams Central. After graduating high school,
I attended Hastings College and graduated in 2006 with a major in economics and minor in religion. After graduating from college, I moved to Lincoln, Nebraska with my significant other, Steph, where we both continued our education. I attended the MBA program at the University of Nebraska Lincoln while Steph completed her undergraduate degree in education. I was then accepted into law school at the University of Nebraska in 2009 and graduated in 2012. We moved back to Hastings in 2012 to practice law and for Steph to teach.

Steph and I currently live in downtown Hastings with our cat, Jack. We enjoy living within walking distance of restaurants and local businesses. Steph currently enjoys teaching algebra at Westridge Middle School in Grand Island, Nebraska.

In my free time, I enjoy jogging around Heartwell Park, playing guitar, cheering for the Huskers and hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park.
