I’m the morning show host on 106.1 The River and a USSAA umpire in South Central, Indiana. I moved to the Columbus area last May and fell in love literally and figuratively. My wife Chelsie and I just got married November 1st of this year! I’m thrilled to be a part of the CAP prom court and I’m looking forward to helping raise funds for this great organization!
I’ve lived in Columbus most of my life. Graduated from Columbus North where I met my wife of almost 20 years, Alicia. We have three boys; Will (11), Henry (9), and Ollie (7). I’ve worked at Cummins for almost 20 years where I’m currently a director in the Quality Analytics department. I’m currently on the board of directors for San Souci and have previously served on the board of the United Way of Bartholomew County. Our boys all play ice hockey and soccer so you will likely see me at either the ice rink or hockey fields most nights of the week. I’m also the Cubmaster of Cub Scout Pack 550 at First United Methodist Church. I’m honored to be a part of the Prom Court for this year’s Adult Prom and hope to raise a lot of money in support of Child Abuse Prevention programming offered through Family Services.

Her sons, along with over 900 of their schoolmates, were resourced to identify unsafe situations and respond with confident personal boundaries. She is thrilled to advocate for programs like this to continue and expand in our community.
