I grew up on St. Paul's East Side, but went to Cretin High School instead of Johnson, where my sisters went. I graduated from the U of M and spent 5 years in the Navy. I have been working in the computer industry for most of the last 20+ years, either in sales or production. I have also worked part time over the years at the Disney Store and as a sports official for high school, college and recreational league softball and volleyball. I am currently working for FedEx in Shakopee.
