I am married to my wonderful wife Sarah, and we have three kids that definitely keep us busy. Noah (17) is a junior at Lake Country Lutheran and plays basketball and baseball. Tyler (15) is a freshman at Lake Country Lutheran and also plays basketball and baseball. Rachel (13) is in 8th grade, currently homeschooled and spends her time doing ballet and hanging out w/ friends. We enjoy traveling, running kids around, and walking our two dogs (Jovie and Eddie). I enjoyed coaching my boys in hoops and basketball through their youth years. I work for Edward Jones here in Mukwonago, and enjoy the long-term relationships that I build with people in the community. I am from Texas (that is where my extended family is), and attended Baylor University. Sarah grew up in the twin cities, attended Wheaton College, and is an RN.
