Degree: B.S. Geography/History
Occupation: Attorney
Address: Parkston
Family: Wife – Barb ’93,

Favorite SDSU Memory: The 1985 regional basketball finals at Frost Arena. I was in high school and my family is great friends with Gene Zulk and his family. Gene got us in early, and we had great seats at center court in the student section.
How/Why I Stay Connected to SDSU: “I stay connected through friends, SDSU publications and attending SDSU events. Genetics would be the reason I stay connected. It is where my parents met. SDSU is connected to my dad’s family and to my mother’s family as a good portion of them attended SDSU. My siblings all attended SDSU. I am happy to say I have a nephew who is attending SDSU this fall. In addition, I am working hard to “brainwash” my kids to attend SDSU. It’s working.”
