He is also a board member of the Oshkosh Zoological Society, Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods Inc., and Winnebago County Historical and Archeological Society. He earned a LEAN Lead Certificate from the Milwaukee School of Engineering and is a 2012 graduate of Leadership Oshkosh.

His business career includes over 17 years as an advertising and marketing executive with Mercury Marine in Fond du Lac and owner of his own marketing and advertising consulting agency which worked with privately held firms in central Wisconsin.

In 2018 he launched a program called Unity in Community which was initiated to bring together the diverse population of Oshkosh in a family friendly event with the focus on sharing our differences and similarities through food, music and education. Area businesses both large and small were overwhelming supportive of the event. Plans are already underway for UIC 2020.
