I’m a marketer, an amateur photographer, a sucker for longform journalism, an early riser and a believer in progress. I live in Minneapolis with my wife, Brittany, and our cat, Minkus.

By day I’m the Marketing Manager for the Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas. Previously, I led product development as the Digital Project Manager for Mall of America®. You can learn more about my role there by visiting the Résumé + Work page. I’m also a proud Mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities.

On my blog, you can read about my life as it relates to my work as well as what I do during non-working hours. Topics include: my experience in marketing, my views on local and national politics, my travel adventures, my self-education as an amateur photographer and more.

Thanks for visiting.
