I was born and raised in small town Iowa. I received my bachelor degree in Fine Arts from Augustana University. While I was attending there I also ran track at Augustana. I competed in 400 meter hurdles three years. I was elected team captain for 3 years. After graduating college, I moved back to Iowa where I coached High School football and Girls Golf. I was also an associate in the high school. After one year working there I decided to pursue my passion in Architecture. I moved to Milwaukee and enrolled in the m.arch program at University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. I am expected to graduate in May of 2018. I am excited to start my journey to become a licensed architect and see where life brings me.
