About me

I was born and grew up in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. I attended the University of Minnesota, majoring in Political Science with a minor in Philosophy. Like many people with this degree combo, I thought about attending law school, but determined that it was just too expensive considering my interest in public policy work. Instead, I'm currently studying for a Master of Science in Security Technologies at the U of MN.

I've worked since college mainly at the Minnesota House of Representatives, first as a Constituent Services writer and now as the head of the IT Department for the DFL Caucus. Hardware, software, PDAs, databases, I take care of it all. 

When I'm not working, I'm an amateur photographer, reader, writer, biker, poker player, music afficianado, blogger, and discombobulator.
