College

Currently, I am a junior at Wartburg College. I am majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in management. Along with being a full-time student, I hold two jobs on campus. I work in the Information Technology Systems (ITS) office, as well as in the Business & Economics department. On campus I am involved in student senate, where I serve as a general member and a member of the student relations committee. I am also involved in Castle Singers, which is the jazz choir on campus. This is my second year with the group, and along with being a member of the group I am the activities coordinator and I serve on council.

High School

I attended Washington High School in Vinton, Iowa. I involved myself in many extra-curricular activities during school such as: volleyball, band, choir, color guard, large group speech, mock trial, musicals/plays, and jazz choir. Along with these activities, I was also a member of the National Honor Society. Some of my awards in high school came from my extra-curricular activities such as: going to All-State for large group speech, most improved choir member, and best witness. Along with these honors and awards, I was on the honor roll every semester in high school except for two and I received a division 1 rating in the solo-ensemble contest. During high school I also held a job a Fareway for two years and I detasseled for six. During those six years of detasseling, I was a supervisor/crew leader throughout four of them.

Family

I was born in Englewood, CO and lived in the Denver area up until fifth grade. All of my relatives still live in Colorado and my family and I often go out to visit. I really enjoy the mountains, but I have come to prefer life in Iowa. I now live in Keystone, Iowa, with my mom, Cheryl, and my twin brother, Tommy. I also have a sister, Stephanie, and she lives in Nebraska. She has two wonderful little boys, Cory and Andrew, who are also great nephews. We are all dog lovers, so we run a dog kennel in Keystone.
