Background

Family

Coming from a family of 2 brothers and 1 sister, Max has spent 18 years of his current 21 year old life living in the beautiful town of Saint Peter, MN. Though considered a townie by most, he considers himself someone who coincidentally remained in the same location for a great deal of his life. Yes the drives from his college to his home are indeed "long and scenic," and people enjoy reminding him about this fact.

Achievements

When Max was in kindergarten, he joined cub scouts, and in 4th grade started lessons in Tae Kwon Do training. Both of these activities later turned Max into a walking oxymoron, because when he was 14 he became an Eagle Scout and a Black Belt.

Life of Music

Not long after, Max started to teach himself guitar via the internet, and soon after that started a band with neighborhood friends. The Band was named Retreat to Nowhere, and lived a life of 5 years. During this time, Max learned a great deal about guitar and singing, and began exploring other instruments.

Currently

Max is currently living a quiet life as a senior at Gustavus, working part time at GTS, a department he's been a part of for 2.5 years and 3 summers. During the school year he studies hard with current plans on majoring in computer science and minoring in music. After graduation, Max will begin working for CIGNA as a TECDP (Technology Early Career Development Program) associate, and is very excited to begin life in the real world. When time becomes free, he does any of the previous interests mentioned above.
