Born and raised in Belleville, Illinois in 1988, I currently live near Millstadt, Illinois. Since 2013, I have been employed full-time as a UPS driver. I am deeply passionate about this nonprofit organization and the people it impacts, as it has provided me with a sense of purpose. Discovering my love for hockey and its surrounding community in my early 20s has completely altered the course of my life. “This sport and its community have given me so much that the least I can do is try to give back to it.”
