I attend college in Madison, Wisconsin at the University of Wisconsin. I am an avid follower of college sports and obviously a Badgers fan and Packers fan. I also enjoy watching soccer but follow no particular team. I have recently started to become a 'beer snob.'

I grew up in a small town in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Because of this upbringing, I have become an avid outdoorsman spending much of my childhood in the woods or on the river.

I am currently living in Copenhagen V, Denmark and exploring my Danish and European heritage, while taking classes at the University of Copenhagen.

I just was skiing in the French Alps!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a strong passion for helping others. For example instead of "typical" college spring break trips, I have spent my spring breaks on service trips traveling around the United States in both small and large cities around the entire country.

Another passion includes teaching swimming lessons. This has been my part-time employment for nearly 7 years and I love working with children and sharing my passion for the water and swimming.
