I have lived in Kansas my entire life. I have lived in the communities of Gardner, Olathe, Lansing and Lawrence. I'm a non-traditional student that took almost 10 years off before going to college. In that time I served as a public safety professional in both the public and private sectors. I am married and just celebrated 2 years with my amazing wife Abbey. I am working full time, going to school full time, serve as on the board of a non-profit and serve in a couple of areas in my church, so it is always a crazy busy schedule for me.

The picture is of my wife and I when we visited the Grand Canyon a few weeks ago. We went when it was insane temps of like 130 for them as well. I guess we brought those back to KS with us sadly. We love to travel. In August we went from Kansas City to Scottsdale to Detroit in the matter of like 2 weeks to take a vacation and see family. We try to take a big family trip with my in-laws once a year, a big family trip with my family once a year, a trip with my wife's college friends once a year and then just a trip for us. So racking up those frequent flyer miles.

Although I don't have a lot of free time between school, work, volunteering and family. When I do have some time to myself I love to get out and ride with public safety agencies to see where their issues are and provide unique solutions through various providers in solving those needs. I also love to play games such as puzzles, cards, board, PC. Though my default is usually board as my wife and I get a new one for our birthdays and Christmas from friends and family. I love to go to the range and keep up my marksmanship. I am thinking of getting into competitive shooting once my calendar frees up a little bit more. Other than that I love to cook and will definitely make a big mess trying something new but it is always worth it when you try the finished item. My most recent dish was beef wellington.

My wife has been to 47 of the 50 states. Only 3 that are left are Washington State, Hawaii, and Alaska. Hoping to fulfill those last 3 by 2025. On top of that I am the person with the most random factoids ever. Actually last Christmas we were playing a game at my in-laws house and they challenged an answer in a categories type of game when it was relating to conspiracies. My wife challenged their challenge and after a like 5 min discussion they awarded us points. I am routinely told by family and friends that I should go on game shows as I would take home the win. When we have team building trivia events everyone wants to be on my team as they know they have a great chance at winning. Here's a fun little tidbit about Kansas and Missouri that I think you will enjoy.

As I said I am an non-conventional student that came back to the education field after almost 10 years in the professional workforce. I although against better judgement have signed up for a full student course load these past 3 semesters I have been able to keep up commitments pretty well and earn the President's list the past 2. Here's to hoping that I do it again this semester. However that being said I work for a company named Axon formerly known as Taser International. We provide dynamic solutions through our expansive ecosystem to public safety, consumer and enterprise customers that will protect life, preserve truth and accelerate justice. We have a mission to reduce gun related deaths by 50% within the next 10 years. Feel free to check out my QR code to learn a little bit more about my place of business.
