I grew up in Shelby, a small town in north central Montana.  After high school I attended Carroll College where I played basketball for the Saints for one year, and coached as a student assistant coach for 4 years.  My last year at Carroll, the Saints made the Fab Four of the NAIA National Tournament.  I graduated with my undergraduate from Carroll in 2005 and I decided to continue my education.  I moved to Oklahoma and attended the University of Oklahoma where I was a Graduate Assistant Coach from 2005-2008.  I received my Masters degree in the spring of 2008.  After graduating from Oklahoma, I moved to Detroit, Michigan where I was the Director of Basketball Operations at the University of Detroit Mercy.  Being a small town Montana kid, I decided the big city wasn't for me and moved back to Big Sky Country and settled back in Helena.  I was an assistant coach at Carroll College for both Men's and Women's teams for a few years before moving on from coaching.  After deciding to get out of college basketball, I accepted a position with my families company managing vacation rentals near Glacier National Park.  I have been running/managing/owning  vacation rentals near Glacier National Park and Helena over the past 4 years and am excited to expand to the Missouri River and it's blue ribbon fly fishing!
