Briefly describe your job duties at Pahl’s:
I work in the landscaping department as a crew member.

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

Tell us about your family?
I live with my Mother in Rosemount along with my dog Bella.  I have a brother that is currently living in Duluth.

What is your favorite time of day/day of the week/month of the year? Why?
My favorite season is summertime.  That is when I get to work with the landscaping crew.  It is also when I come home from school in Duluth and help my Mom with whatever she needs to have done around the house.

What is your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?
Car racing is my number one hobby.  I’m on my best friend’s racing team, Nick Beaver Racing. We race at Elko Speedway and it’s just a big part of my life and who I am. I also love to go fishing whenever I have free time.  There is nothing better than throwing a line out.

What is the farthest you have been away from home?
The farthest that I have ever been away from home was to Mexico.  My whole family went together.  The most unique experience of that trip was when my Dad and I were kayaking in the ocean.  We flipped our kayak and just chilled with the fish.

What are three things on your “Bucket List” ?
Sky diving, racing a race car, and getting my dream truck.

What do you miss most about being a kid?
Not having to worry about working and not having to deal with bills.

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
Fly a plane

What was the first thing you bought with your own money?
A snowboard

If you could choose anyone, who would you pick to be your mentor? Why?
I would choose my father, John.  He was the strongest, most caring man I ever will know.  He passed away 1 1/2 years ago. He taught me so many important things in life. I would be lost if he hadn’t taught those things to me.

If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
I would buy my Mom her dream home and get her whatever she wanted.  She has been through a lot and she earned it.  She has had to deal with me for 22 years so far!

What is your all time favorite movie?
Forest Gump
