He was a tri-sport athlete at Lakeville South High School before getting diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma at the end of his Junior year.

He had a successful return to football and went on to excel at Bethel University where he was a four-time All Conference player, named first team All American and was named the Conference Player of the year his senior year. He met his now-wife, Taylor, while attending and graduated with his degree in Business Finance. Today, he serves as the Director of Finance for Carlson Pet Products and Regalo International. His own personal experience as a student athlete with pediatric cancer is what The Goliath Project was founded on. It created a mission and drive to serve student athletes impacted by cancer and give them the chance to successfully return to their sport.
