He followed this interest to the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities where he received a BA in Political Science and Sociology: LCD (Law, Criminology, and Deviance). At Minnesota his interest in a specific question was solidified when he won an essay contest with an essay titled “Rigged: From Suspicion to Verdict, the United States Criminal Justice System Disadvantages People Accused of Crimes”. This continued interest took him to Mitchell Hamline School of Law here he earned his JD. While there, he earned an award for having the best grade in his Wrongful Convictions class. He is an avid fan of the Wisconsin Badgers football and basketball teams. Further he enjoys staycations with his family which includes a young daughter.
