I live in Big Lake with my beautiful wife of 11 years and two kids, Katie (8) and Liam (5). We live on a couple of acres and have a ton of chickens and cats. Probably too many cats, but it’s just who we are.
During the day I’m a Master Electrician traveling all over the Twin Cities. My crew and I specialize mostly in high end remodels and have worked on many homes here in Big Lake.
At night, I’m a family man! Coming home to my family is the best part of the day. For fun, I love packing the family up and heading to Florida any chance we get! That Florida sun and blue waters just cannot be beat, any time of year!
Big Lake has been our home for 13 years and we love our little slice of peace and quiet out here!
