About Me

I can shift back into my accent if I want, but have really own retained my ability to hold my alcohol.Went to college at Bemidji State University, got a degree in Theatre. Did me some good for awhile... introduced me to my wife Katie afterall. Otherwise, maybe I should have pursued something else.I currently live in the Minneapolis area, looking to buy a house this summer. I work as a Supervisor for a Security Department, but things change quickly and may be changing soon.My daughter Elaina is closing in on 2 years old, and we are so blessed to have her. Her and Katie really keep me moving every day, it's amazing how much 2 people can effect your life.
