Favorite memory outside of ALHS sports: Marrying my wife Amy, birth of our sons, playing college hockey at Eau Claire

The most influential person in my athletic career: My parents, Terry and Mary, who supported me and my ambitions throughout high school and beyond. Thank you!

Something most people don’t know about me: I have completed multiple marathons and triathlons along with two Full Ironmans. Also, I am doing my third and final Full Ironman WI in 2024.

My advice for young athletes is: All sports take commitment and dedication to achieve the goals you have for yourself. But most importantly have fun playing the sports you love.

The 2023 Albert Lea High School Athletic Hall of Fame Reception is July 28, starting at 5 p.m. Forms can be picked up at the downtown CVB office.
