Short Bio 

I am originally from Arizona. I joined the Navy in 2008 and later met my wife Emilee while we were both enlisted. We have 2 boys that now play Oilers hockey and love it. There are SO many sticks and mini sticks in our house! In 2021 we decided to move back to Emilee's home town where she played hockey from Squirt to Jr. Gold/19U. We have made Watford City our home because of the opportunities here and strong sense of community that it offers, as well as having family and friends close by. We have been involved in the MCHC since 2021, the first year with no children playing because Emilee was asked to coach the 10U team. So, we committed to the club and have never looked back. My day job is working as a safety professional focused on training and operational procedures in the Bakken.

Why are you running for MCHC Board of Directors 

After realizing that hockey chose me to be a part of it, I have jumped in with both feet. I am currently sharpening skates, driving the Zamboni, being our team's locker room dad, and also helping anywhere I can be of assistance while in the building. I would like to help mold the club as it grows, to assist in bringing unity to all levels from LTS to Jr. Gold/19U, and to continue with the standardization of the club's procedures that have already been started by the current board and committee members (for example; pre-season club schedule).

I am running because I believe I can bring my professional skills into the club and assist in making it run more smoothly and uniformly. I didn't choose hockey as a kid, but hockey chose me as an adult and I've fallen in love with it, so, I would like to help all of the kids in the club fall in love with it too.
