Born and raised in ND, I lived in Rugby during grade school and middle school, and my family moved during my freshman year of high school and so I graduated high school from West Fargo. I attended Concordia College in Moorhead, MN where I received my bachelor of arts degree in Biology. I obtained my Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine from the College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery at Des Moines University in Iowa. After my residency training in Orlando, FL, my wife and I moved to Grand Forks with our two young children at that time and while in Grand Forks we added 3 more for a total of 5 children. We now only have one left in the house who is a sophomore in high school. One is a freshman at UND and the other 3 are building careers in Grand Forks.
