I was raised by a Wisconsin Dairy Farmer (dad) and a Northwoods lawyer (mom). Growing up in the heart of the 7th Congressional District taught me the value of hard work, resourcefulness, and showing up for your community, values I carry with me in everything I do.

At 17, I left for Ashland to attend Northland College a year early, earning my B.S. in Business Administration. Since then, I’ve built a career focused on strengthening rural communities like the one I grew up in, not through politics, but through action.

Whether it’s been in classrooms, boardrooms, town halls, or race trails, I’ve always been driven by a deep love for this region and a commitment to showing up and doing the work. Now, I’m ready to bring that same commitment to Washington, because rural Wisconsin deserves a voice shaped by lived experience, not political ambition.
