Originally from Davis, SD I moved to Pierre in 2008 after graduating from the University of South Dakota.
I spent 7 years within state government in various roles, including the outdoor media and public relations rep for the Department of Tourism.
In 2015, I joined Fischer Rounds & Associates. For the past 7 years I have put my communication and leadership skills to work helping the company grow the transportation book of business and expanding it to the lower 48 states.
My wife (Carrie) and I have been married for 15 years and have three beautiful children Andrina (11), Beckett (9), Cohen (4). We spend a lot of our time at the family farm, south of Presho, where we operate a small farm and pheasant preserve. It’s here where I can give back not only to the conservation side of things but to our youth. We enjoy hosting family, friends, co-workers, and clients along with their children. Allowing the youth to learn how to hunt safely and properly is the key to our outdoor future.
