After leaving the USMC I moved into aviation maintenance and served with the North Dakota Air National Guard. I continued working in aviation until 2018 when I decided I needed a change. With the support of my wife I moved into a new career path. I found that hearing care was very fulfilling and allows me to change lives daily. Together with my wife we have raised five collective children who have found success in their own ways. I am proud of our family. My wife and I reside in the Alexandria MN lakes area with our two office dogs in a little house on a small lake. When I am not working I enjoy spending time outdoors, working on the house, or doing automotive maintenance. I am a proud member of the Runestone Detatchment of the Marine Corps League, Minnesota Hearing Healthcare Providers, and Sertoma of Alexandria.
