I grew up in a rural town of Odell, IL where I attend grade school at St. Paul Catholic School. Then attended Pontiac Township High School and graduated in 2006. I recieved my associate's degree from Heartland Community College in Normal, IL. I am now attending Illinois State University and pursuing a degree in Political Science.

A few things that I enjoy doing is being outdoors and exploring what is out there. Then, also taking the family pleasure boat out and enjoying what the water has to offer for slalom skiing. More recently my girlfriend has got me interested in going to tractor pulls that are sponsored by the Illinois Tractor Pulling Association. The two of us have also vacationed in Maui, Hawaii the last three years together.
