Just for Fun

• Favorite Wisconsin sports team:
  Milwaukee Bucks
  
  
• What’s on your Wisconsin travel bucket list?
  I love living in Milwaukee, but my bucket list definitely includes seeing more of beautiful Northern Wisconsin. I’d love to spend more time in Minoqua, and other amazing and picturesque communities up north to experience their scenery, hospitality, and unique character.

• Fun fact people might not know about you:
  I was the youngest male finalist in the history of MasterChef with Gordon Ramsay (Season 5), so if anyone’s ever looking for a good laugh, it’s out there.
