About Me
I was born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. I earned my Bachelor of Administration from Lakehead University before taking a year and a half off to work. After reevaluating what I wanted to do for a living I returned to school to earn a degree in Sport Management from Minnesota State University, Mankato.
