I grew up in Des Plaines Illinois and lived there till I went off to Winona State University. I have a degree in Sports Medicine and a minor in Psychology from Winona State University. I apparently did not always want to be a banker when I grew up, but I knew that I loved to help others.
I was very active in my church (St. Zachary’s) in Des Plaines, I was an altar boy and always helped out the church with their fundraisers which led me to my first job answering phones and stuffing bulletins for the rectory.
I have been married to my wonderful wife Erin for 16 years this year and we have an incredible son Max who I have attempted to homeschool during this stay at home time. We also have two great dogs Norbert and our puppy Bulleit.
Our favorite thing is to do is to go camping as a family and every year we head up to Peninsula State Park and camp for a week where we attend the annual labor day weekend competition. We meet up with between 15 to 30 families and we have a cooking competition with snarky trophies and all.
My career as a banker has shed light on many aspects of life. I learned that big banks do serve a purpose but their morals are not the same as mine. I have been given a great opportunity to work at PWSB where I can make a difference in the community where my family and I live..
My mother, who is a fellow Rotarian, inspired me to join Rotary. She is a Paul Harris recipient and well deserving of that. My mom has always been a great role model of service before self and continues to emulate that through her sewing of a few hundred masks she has been donating.
