I was born and raised in Northeast Minneapolis. I spent most of my childhood tagging along with my grandfather who was a painter. It wasn’t long before I had a paint brush in my own hand.

As a young man, I began my career in health care building pacemakers for Medtronics. Through some of my friends, I was asked if I was interested in painting and performing repairs in assisted living apartments for a health care community in Minneapolis. I accepted the offer and have worked in senior housing for the past 10+ years. I enjoy my work, but I also enjoy spending time with seniors. They are so appreciative of the work I do.

I am married and have two children, a daughter and a son. When not at work, I enjoy working out in the yard and spending time with family at our cabin on Lake Vermilion.
