I was born and raised in Paynesville, Minnesota, where Spooner & Glenz Law Offices, PLLC is located. After high school I attended Southwest Minnesota State University obtaining degrees in Political Science and Public Administration. After a nearly ten year career as a general contractor, I decided to go back to law school and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of North Dakota School of Law. After being admitted to the Minnesota Bar, I immediatly joined William Spooner in Paynesville because of my desire to raise my family in the small community that both my wife and I were from. 

Although we are a general practice law firm due to our rural location, I concentrate on the areas of family law, criminal defense, estate planning, and family mediation. Most of our cases are in Stearns and Kandiyohi County, but we routinely represent clients in a varitey of other counties as well. I take great pride in my honest, professional, and straight-forward approach to handling my clients' legal matters. 

Outside of work I am a father of three girls which keeps me on my toes. When I do get spare time, I like to spend it in the outdoors doing anything active, but mostly hunting and fishing. My wife and I are also big sports fans and like following North Dakota Hockey as well as the Vikings, Timberwolves, Wild and Twins.
