When I was in second grade, I won my first drawing contest. Growing up in rural North Dakota, it wasn’t a grand achievement, but the joy of watching people smile at my work stuck with me—and it’s a feeling I still cherish today.

Now, I channel that same creativity into my work as a UX/UI designer at Flint Group, where I focus on improving everyday experiences through thoughtful design. When I’m not bringing brand visions to life, I love spending time outdoors with my wife, McKenna, capturing the beauty of nature through photography.

At the end of the day, very few people are fortunate enough to practice a profession that is also their passion. I feel incredibly lucky to have a career I love—one that challenges me, fulfills me, and keeps me striving for better.
