Prior to college I grew up in southern Minnesota, lived in the Middle East for a couple of years, and have traveled extensively. I graduated from Hastings High School in Hastings, MN in 2000 and moved to Jamestown, ND to attend Jamestown College. While there I participated in numerous activities. I was both a Student Senator and Senate Secretary in my time with the JC Student Senate. With the college news publication, The Collegian, I was Web Editor and during my Sr. year – Editor-in-Chief. I graduated with a History-Political Science degree and a minor in German in the spring of 2005.

Since 2005 I have worked with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in different facets. Currently I work with SAP/Business Objects as the Business Intelligence Lead for Goodrich Interiors working with reporting and report development as part of our divisional SAP Support Team. I have been working at Goodrich since 2007.

I was married in September 2006 in Jamestown. We have a house, pets, and are both heavily involved in the community.  You can learn more about my community involvement on the “Community” page on this site.  I have many different side projects I work on which you can browse on the “Projects” page of this site.   You will find links to websites and blogs that I run, write for, or have worked on in the past.
