I am married to Melinda Check and have 3 children and several grand-cats. I was born and raised in the Stevens Point area and currently live in Custer, WI.

I graduated from UW Stevens Point with an Accounting / Business Major. I've been an insurance professional with American Family since 1985. I have expertise in business, farm/ranch, home, auto, and life insurance protection.

I enjoy spending time with my wife doing hobbies such as bicycling, walking, traveling, and visiting my children who are grown and all live away from home.
