I am originally from West Bend, Wisconsin. I graduated from Ripon College with a Bachelor of Arts in both Psychology and Philosophy. Following college, I moved to Fox Valley working for Habitat for Humanity and the Oshkosh Corporation. While working for Habitat for Humanity, I met my wife, Megan (nee Thiel), who is originally from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

After spending our entire lives in the Midwest, when it came time for me to attend law school, Megan and I decided to try living in a vastly different area of the country and moved to Charleston, South Carolina. I spent my final semester of law school at the University of Wisconsin Law School in Madison, after we determined that we missed Wisconsin, our friends, and most importantly our families.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with Megan and our chocolate lab Howie, reading, travelling, going to concerts, spending time outdoors, and of course following Wisconsin sports teams.
