I grew up in a small town called Lively in the province of Ontario, Canada. After high school and playing hockey at the elite junior level in Ontario, I accepted a scholarship to St. Francis Xavier University and graduated in 2009 with a BA in social/criminal justice with academic All-Canadian honors. My first visit to the Black Hills area was in the fall of 2009 to play professional hockey for the Rapid City Rush. I enjoyed a successful rookie season taking home “rookie of the year” honors and also a league championship. I have spent 6 of the past 7 years of my hockey career playing with the Rapid City Rush. It’s been almost 6 years since I turned my career over to the mortgage industry. I’ve really enjoyed helping people through the financial process of home ownership. I thrive on giving my clients the best quality service, professionally, and thoroughly in every transaction. I am very fortunate to have a wonderful family by my side. I married my beautiful wife Jami in 2014 and we have 3 boys, Aaron, Easton and Declan.
