About

I am currently a Lake Superior College student pursuing an associate’s degree in accounting and finance. I plan on transferring to the University of Wisconsin Superior to complete my 4 year degree in those fields. I might consider transferring to one of the seven Minnesota State Colleges. Graduate school I might pursue through an online program at some point in the future.

I try to focus on one semester at a time. My goal is to make the Deans’ list for spring semester and complete my freshman year at Lake Superior College. I have a summer job as a camp counselor at Red Arrow Camp in Woodruff, WI. Summer of 2022 will be my second year at the camp. In the fall I will be back at LSC for my sophomore year. In the winter I am a hockey official for USA Hockey. These are my tentative plans for the next 2 years.

I was raised in Duluth, Minnesota my whole life. It is a great town to grow up in. Nature is only minutes away and of course you have the beauty and magnificence of Lake Superior. I spent most of my youth outside. During the winter I was snowboarding at one of the three ski hills in town or playing outdoor hockey at one of the 7 professionally maintained rinks in town. My summers were just as busy with baseball, hiking, mountain biking, and all the lake activities available in the area.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan on taking over my families bar and restaurant business from my father and uncle. I feel that operating the budgets for the business would be a big help to them. The business is in a very popular vacation destination in Wisconsin on a lake. Summer season (April-September) is the busy season. The family business will be part time and working as a CPA will be full time for the first 5-10 years.

Graduate school interests

I will pursue a graduate degree in accounting. It will most likely be online.
