I was raised on a farm in Western Minnesota. That’s where I learned how to work hard, creatively engineer better systems and help things grow. Things I still do today.
I call myself multidisciplinary, which is my way of saying I have learned how to learn and connect what I've learned with systems-thinking. I’ve learned to choose ideas over mediums and craft over tools. I tackle problems from a holistic perspective, and love finding solutions that fit like a glove.
