I was born and raised in East Idaho and lived in Shelley Idaho for the majority of my life. I come from a small family with only one other sibling. I met my wife Chelsie in 2016 and moved to the “Big City” the same year. We don’t have any children, but we have 3 fur babies in the form of 2 dogs and a cat that we love just the same! In my spare time I like to go out in the mountains as much as I can! I graduated from Shelley High in 2012 and jumped into the food and beverage world from there. I have managed at many restaurants around the area including everything from Pizza Hut to my most recent and most notable Smokin Fins. I started at Smokin Fins in 2018 when they opened here in Idaho Falls as a server, from there I bartended and was an hourly supervisor. I finished my career as the Assistant General Manager and is where most of you would recognize me from if I look familiar. I look forward to serving all of you and maintaining the level of experience you all love.
