When I was in second grade, I won my first drawing contest. Growing up in rural North Dakota, there may not have been much grandeur associated with that accomplishment, but the image of watching people smile as they viewed my work has stuck with me. It’s a feeling I still cherish to this day.

Now, I work as a UX/UI designer at Flint Group, where I channel my creativity to improve everyday experiences. When I’m not bringing brand visions to life, I love spending time outdoors, capturing the beauty of nature with my wife, McKenna.

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 that I love, one that keeps me striving for perfection.
