My wife and I have two beautiful children who are involved in local sports and activities.

I have been a licensed insurance agent in South Dakota for over 20 years. Prior to becoming an agent with American Family Insurance, I was in law enforcement for 11 years.

I enjoy getting out into the beautiful Black Hills to hike or fly fish.

I'm extremely involved in Special Olympics in Rapid City. I have been coaching the Special Olympics Flame basketball team for 15 years. I also coach a local Little League Baseball team.
