In 2009, I moved to Minnesota for college - attending Northwestern College in Roseville and graduating with a degree in Marketing. It was there that I met my with Elsie (Elizabeth) and we were married in 2014. My career has taken quite a few turns, but in 2016 I founded a digital marketing agency in Minneapolis. It was through that experience, I learned the powerful tool of entrepreneurship. Nothing gets me more excited than building something, bringing innovation to it, and empowering others to help it grow. In 2023, I became an owner of Platform Marketing - a digital marketing agency dedicated to Real Estate Agents. In that same year, our ownership group founded the John Galt Mortgage Company - a mortgage brokerage that's unapologetically Conservatarian.

Our family moved to North Branch in 2020 from Bloomington after experiencing the intensity of COVID restrictions, deterioration of public safety, and general value mismatch between our personal values during those intense years. We chose Chisago County because this is a special place. We fell in love with our neighborhood, our church, and newfound friends in an area unlike any other in the state. Because this area is special, I feel led to throw my hat in the ring and serve. Daily, we witness why we love North Branch and this county. We're not alone; many young families are moving to the area for the same reason- because the people are good neighbors and we share similar values.

I've been involved in conservative politics since college. My career has intertwined with it many times, as I've built websites and digital marketing campaigns for sitting legislators and members of congress. I've run statewide campaigns and have gotten a front row seat for how the Left works and how to combat it using tools like social media effectively.
