I’m from Oriska, North Dakota. I got my Bachelors Degree in Sports Management from Valley City State University. While at VCSU I spent 3 seasons as a student assistant coach for the mens basketball team. I also spent time work home events and tournaments for the athletic department. Finally at VCSU I spent time interning in the Sport Information office. After VCSU I went on to Northern State University (SD) to pursue my M.S. Ed in Sports Performance and Leadership. While completing my degree I interned for the North Star Athletic Association( an NAIA athletic conference).
