About

I graduated from Manitowoc Lincoln High School in 2008, and left for basic training in the Army two weeks later. After eight years of service, which culminated in my role as an Army Ranger squad leader, I felt that I had met all of my personal goals within the military. I decided to change my career path, and pursue a degree in business administration with a major in finance. Upon my acceptance to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I separated from the Army in the summer of 2016. My wife and I moved from Washington state back to Wisconsin, and I just completed my first semester with a 4.0. I hope to use the knowledge and skills gained from my college career to become a prominent business leader with a positive influence on both my local and veteran communities.
