I grew up at the rural border of ND and MN where my mom has been teaching at her piano studio for 50 years and is married to my father who is a scientist, musician, and green beret. I am a proud father to a wonderful daughter who is the sweetest person I know.  And I have a loving partner of 10 years who takes awesome band and nature photos. I like to kayak, camp, and cheer on family and friends in life. I also like my audio and music work to be as tidy as my living room.
