Family: I am from Northfield, MN, where my parents and two of my brothers still live. I have a third brother who lives in Rochester with his growing family. I am engaged and we have two dogs.
Hobbies: I love to read! Historical fiction and fantasy are my favorite genres. I like to be outside anytime of the year; on the lake in the summer or taking my dogs for winter walks. I like playing all kinds of games--board games, video games, card games, yard games...etc. I am pretty competitive and I like a challenge! I also really enjoy wood turning and anything crafty.
