Biography: I am the youngest of five children in my family. I was born on May 16, 1982 in Lancaster, Wisconsin. I was the fifth generation to grow up on the Garthwaite Family Dairy Farm in Mt. Hope, Wisconsin. I later moved with my mom and dad to Francis Creek in 1995. I attended Mishicot High School where I was a three sport athlete, member of the FFA, senior class president, and worked at Meadow Brook Farms in Manitowoc. After graduating from Mishicot in 2000, I went to UW-Platteville where I majored in Communication Technologies Management and minored in Public Relations. Before graduating in 2004, I was Sports Director at WSUP radio and was also a sports anchor for the school's television station. I also volunteered for Wisconsin Badger Camp, a terrific organization that sends individuals with developmental disabilities to summer camp. I was an auction host for their telethon from 2002-2005.

I have been working in radio broadcasting since 2000. For three years I was the voice of UW-Platteville Pioneer Football and Basketball. After completing my college education, my broadcasting career took me to Okoboji IA, where I was a sports announcer and an on air personality for a full service radio station. After being away from Wisconsin for almost two years, I decided to move back "home." I currently live in De Pere. Upon moving back to Green Bay, I worked at WDUZ 107.5 FM 1400 AM Radio as a Producer and On Air Personality. Whether it was co hosting sports talk shows or covering the Packers at Lambeau Field, I enjoyed being a voice and resource for the listeners in Northeast Wisconsin. It was also a thrill to meet listeners at various events around the area.

I currently work in Green Bay as an Advertising Consultant, which allows more time for this campaign and time spent with my beautiful wife, Brooke and my family.
