Biography
I was born and raised here in the Twin Cities. In 2015, I graduated from Wayzata High School in Plymouth, Minnesota, where I was apart of the football team and band programs. After High School, I enlisted into the United States Air Force and served four years active duty as a Security Forces member. During my time serving, I held many different titles and roles depending on the mission. I was a fire team leader, F.A.S.T member certified, B.D.O.C. controller, Buck Sergeant certified, as well as T.C.C.C. certified. I left the Air Force as a senior airman in order to pursue my goal of becoming a coach. I now study at Bethel as a biokinetics major, as well as being a member of the football team, Studen Veterans of America leader, and VA student worker.
