ABOUT ME
My friends would describe me as trustworthy, laid-back and introspective. I have a serious side and a goofy side, but not an overly-goofy side. I love to laugh, and people with witty, sarcastic senses of humor tend to be best at making that happen. I never thought I'd end up living so close to where I grew up, but after several years away, I came back and stumbled upon a job I love. In the meantime, I've discovered what a great city Minneapolis is. You should too.
