Personal Details

About Me

Born and raised in Wisconsin, but got sick of shoveling snow so I decided to make Arizona my home. I'm newly married to an amazing wife with four kids. When I'm not working, I try to find any means possible to travel.

I'm an avid football fan and still cheer on the home state. (Go Packers and Badgers!) My taste in music can best be described as eclectic. My iPod has a lot of classical and golden era music of the 1920s thru 1940s. I'm a history buff and work tirelessly on an ongoing genealogy project which has family history with roots tracing back to the 13th century. Free time is rare and my four new step-children and four energetic cats keep me on my toes.

Every once in awhile, my wife and I can get out and we enjoy theater, ballet, and are avid movie buffs. Holidays are always a big deal in our home and we find new and fun ways to convert our home into a seasonal wonderland. My wife and I also have a love of anything Disney and we try to get to Disneyland (sometimes with the kids) whenever our calendars and wallets allow. If I lived closer to Anaheim, I would stop at nothing to be a Disney Imagineer.

Experience

From Jan 2019 To Present Desert Financial Credit Union Phoenix, AZ

Instructional Designer

As an Instructional Designer, my role focuses on successfully onboarding new hires. In order to maintain effectiveness with my team, this requires strong collaboration and communication with a collective focus on our mission, vision and values. As this role evolves, the success is measured by reduction in turnover as well as development strategies from feedback received by members and leadership. Step one is establishing a strong foundation and continues with reinforced support with management being thoughtful to individual goals and incentives. Our culture continues success through the strong support and commitment to learning. In addition to creating learning, I have also assisted in the training and administration for the new HRIS system and LMS.
