My story

When I was a teenager, I set my mind to be the first person in my family to graduate college as a challenge to myself and testimony to my future wife and kids. I graduated with a Masters Degree in Biblical Theology from Heartland Baptist Bible College in 2016. Following graduation I married my best friend, Lauren, on June 10th 2016. 

​

With resilience I began working as a temp for Target Distribution in Tangent, OR as a packer for their MBP department. It did not take long before my work ethic paid off and I was offered a full time role on the day shift. This was unheard of at the time, but it shows that consistency and extra effort stand out. 

​

During the winter of 2019 I attended Linn Benton Community College to learn about business because of my growing passion for the supply chain industry. I graduated in 2022 and transferred to Oregon State University where I studied Business Analytics with an option in HR Analytics. I absolutely loved my statistics classes and data quickly became a passion. 

​

Just before graduating at OSU, my family and I moved to Falls City, NE where I serve as assistant pastor and church pianist  at the Valley Avenue Baptist Church. I also currently work as the parts manager at Hullman's Ford and get to do some data analysis as well. I give free piano lessons to the folks in town, and love what I get to do. My wife Lauren is my biggest support and I cherish every moment I have with her. I am blessed with three children: my daughter, Greylynn and my two sons, Judah and Gideon.
