He is an avid Milwaukee Bucks fan and will one day, be on the sidelines to capture images for his favorite team (goals… right?). You can find him enjoying all the amazing things Wisconsin has to offer with his family and friends, kayaking, hiking, or taking in the local festivities. He feels extremely blessed God has allowed him to pursue these passions and he looks forward to what lies ahead.
