I was born in 1982. I grew up in Kansas City Missouri. My father was a ticket salesperson at Midland Theater and my mother was a journalist for Kansas City Star. I majored in Entertainment Based Marketing at Lawrence University. I got a D- on a unit test hours after seeing the news on 9/11/2001, probably because of what I saw. I currently work as a brand promoter for the Kansas City Chiefs. I married my wife in 2007 and we have had two kids since then.
