Hello everyone! Recently I began a once and a lifetime journey aboard to a little place called Kristiansand, Norway which is beautiful town on the very southern tip of Norway. I am a student at the University of Agder where I am studying Outdoor Education which completely satisfies my outdoor needs and gives me the first hand experience of what the Norwegian nature has to offer. Back at home in Wisconsin I study at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point with my major being Wildlife Ecology and a minor in Environmental Law Enforcement with the hopes of entering the field of Nature Resources. I was born and raised in the wonderful city of Wausau, Wisconsin by my beautiful mother Christine and my father Richard with my big sister Elizabeth. Both of my parents are hard at work in my fathers orthodontic practice which is the very best in the business at making the people in Wausau area happier one smile at a time! My sister is entering her first year in grad school at Marquette University in speech pathology. She recently got engaged to her high school sweetheart Andrew Welles who is just an absolute great guy (wedding come soon!). Andrew is in his third year also at Marquette University at the School of Dentistry. My wonderful girlfriend Alyssa Blume is also a student at the University of Stevens Point where she is studying dietetics. Although it’s very hard to be so far away from everyone, the occasional skype session always helps. Norway has been a truly amazing experience and I plan on taking full advantage of what Norway has to offer me. Everyday has a new story and a new adventure so I look forward to writing all about it!
