My family migrated to the US when I was five. I spent the first 13 years in Northern California, where I grew up surrounded by family and friends. We then moved to the east coast for a bit before landing in the Midwest. I value time with my parents and sister above all else. They are what inspires me to do what I do.

Leading up to my current role as an American Family Insurance Agency Owner, I have spent the majority of my career in banking. I got my start as a bank teller with Kohler Credit Union back when I was 16 years old. Since then, I have held various roles in banking, from loan officer to mortgage origination, to bank manager. All of which I have enjoyed thoroughly and have learned a great deal.

I got involved in non-profits in my early twenties, when a buddy coerced me to serve on a board. He said it would only be for one year. Here I am fifteen years later, still on at least one board with a non-profit organization. When I'm not working or spending time with family, I enjoy volleyball and soccer. My other hobbies include checking out restaurants and picking up the latest sci-fi novel.
