Outside of his professional life, I have a diverse range of interests. I am a former Dalmatian owner, an everyday Peloton enthusiast, and enjoy yard work and gardening. I'm also committed to giving back to the community, volunteering with the St. Vincent DePaul Conference/Shoreline.

Born and raised in Kodiak, Alaska, I am the youngest of three boys. As an Alaskan Native, I am a shareholder of Koniag, Inc. (Regional Corporation), Afognak (Village Corporation), and Sun’aq (Tribe – People of the Sea). My upbringing in the unique environment of Kodiak has instilled in me a deep respect for nature and my native culture, which is an integral part of who I am.
