I grew up in humble beginnings in Aberdeen, Washington and then lived most of my formative years tending farms in the Nisqually Valley near Lacey, Washington. In my post-secondary years, I received a two Bachelors Degrees from University of Washington in Seattle, WA in Industrial & Systems Engineering and believe it or not, the other in Philosophy. I have a Masters of Science in Engineering and Leadership from Purdue University.
I’ve spent my career in a variety of roles ranging from:
In my Philanthropy and Volunteer work I:
I currently live in Lake Tapps, Washington with my lovely wife Michelle and two young children. I enjoy camping, backpacking, mountain biking, kayaking, fishing, reading a variety of subjects, hosting outdoor dutch oven and cooking events, and generally enjoying the outdoors with friends, family, and community.
