My Roots:

I was born to humble beginnings in Reedsville, Wisconsin. As farmers and breakfast / lunch cafe owners, my family was not rich with money but instead we were rich with love & support for one another.  We worked hard to survive but always found time to also help our fellow neighbors and community members through good deeds. The values taught to me as a child from my amazing parents & community members have driven my passion to help others to this current day.

​

My Education:

  • Graduate with Honors from Reedsville High School in 2001. 
  • Associate Degree in Criminal Justice from Lakeshore Technical College (LTC) in 2003.

Earned LTC's 2003 Criminal Justice Graduate of the Year Award & was President of the Student Government

  •  Bachelor Degree from Concordia University in Business Management in 2011

Graduated Magna Cum Laude

​

​

Professional Life:

I obtained my first Law Enforcement position in 2002 and have been involved with the profession through 2024 where I left to focus on my marketing business full-time.

In 2009, I founded MCM Products, LLC with the intent to help as many people as possible live a healthier & better life. To fullfill that mission I help businesses with their online presence through  MCM Digital Products, individuals improve their wellbeing through Brilliant Health & Fitness & athletes get recrited to colleges through The Recruiting Portal. 

I am the primary operator of all three web properties.

​

Personal Life: 

I've resided at my current residence in Manitowoc, Wisconsin since 2007. I have a beautiful wife and 5 amazing children whom I show unconditional love and support for every day. In my free time I like to take family walks, bike rides, camping, traveling the world, coach youth football, coach youth basketball & cheer on the Packers, Brewers & Badgers.
